  • Title: An iatrogenic foreign body (dental bur) in the maxillary antrum: a report of two cases.
    Author: Abe K, Beppu K, Shinohara M, Oka M.
    Journal: Br Dent J; 1992 Jul 25; 173(2):63-5. PubMed ID: 1503836.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of foreign bodies of the antrum are reported. One was a turbine bur which presumably entered through an oro-antral fistula after a tooth extraction. The other was also a turbine bur where the mode of entry was not clear (lack of oro-antral fistula), but it presumably entered through the socket of the extracted tooth. The mucosa of the antrum appeared normal in spite of the lengthy presence of the foreign body.
