Abstract: Dental implantation at the posterior maxillary region involving the sinus has become a routine treatment for the edentulous patients. However, due to medical or pathogenic factors, various postoperative complications may occur, among which the relatively rare but serious complication is the displacement of dental implant into the maxillary sinus. At present, there is still lack of guideline or consensus on the management of this complication at home and abroad. Therefore, the Chinese Society of Oral Implantology organized experts from different domestic universities to discuss and draft this consensus from the aspects of pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, treatment plans and prevention methods, aiming to provide clinicians with practical measures for the prevention and treatment of the complication of implant displacement into the maxillary sinus.
