Abstract
Foreign bodies in the orbit are uncommon, and dental intraconal displacement is even
more rare. We aim to present and discuss what is to our knowledge the first case and
its management. A 55-year-old woman had a dental implant placed in the upper right
maxilla, but during the procedure it was displaced into the orbit. It was removed
reliably and safely through an enlarged endoscopic medial maxillectomy.
