| Abstract: | We describe here a procedure of endoscopic removal of a gutta-percha point under the maxillary sinus mucosa by using an ultrathin arthroscope. In this study, a 1.2-mm-diameter ultrathin arthroscope was introduced for observation into the maxillary sinus. The surgical technique is suggested to be a reliable and minimally invasive procedure that provides limited incision and bone removal and respects the integrity of the sinus. |
