Removal of Maxillary Sinus Antrolith and Concomitant Intrasinus Augmentation.

Maxillary sinus antrolithisis is a rare finding. Conservative surgical removal recommended. In the patients that need to maxillary intrasinus augmentation and antrolith is observed in preoperative radiography, 2 options remain. First, doing Caldwell-luc surgery to remove antrolith and delayed open sinus lift. Second way is removing antrolith and concomitant intrasinus augmentation.The first way has 2 disadvantages: prolonged waiting period and difficulty of open sinus lift in sinuses with scar and fibrosis. Coupling these 2 surgeries and using corticocancellous bone block as grafting material are recommended by us. Buccal fat pad is a good option to isolate this graft from maxillary sinus.
