Fungal Sinus Infection Case with Omnilock Implant: Can This Be Related to a Dental Implant?
Last Updated: Dec 05, 2011
Dr. O ask:
I have a patient with a recurrent fungal sinus infection. She is currently under the care of an ENT specialist. She has had two prior surgeries on her sinus. The ENT specialist suspects that the fungal infection may be related to her dental implant and he wants me to remove the fixed partial denture so he can have greater visual access to the area. Do you think what the ENT recommends is the proper course of action at this point? Also, does anyone recognize this implant? It appears to me to be an old Omnilock implant. If it is an Omnilock implant, what size driver should I use? Where can I order components?
