title: Sinuscopy in patients with titanium implants in the nose and sinuses.
abstract: Foreign bodies in the nose and sinuses can cause chronic infections. Long titanium fixtures through the maxilla to the zygomatic bone were followed up with a sinuscope in 14 patients after more than one year. There were no signs of infection or inflammation in the mucosa around the fixtures.
