To highlight the challenges of dealing with surgical complications associated with an appropriate implant treatment plan.</p><p>Methodology: The study presents the case of a 50-years old patient who complains of pain in the area of the right maxillary second molar. A clinical and radiographic examination was performed. A surgical plan was made involving the placement of two implants with prior extraction of the right maxillary second molar. An evaluation was performed in a period of 6 months after the implantation.</p><p>Results: The evaluation showed that there was no bone defect, the grafted bone was well healed, and the final restoration was set 2 months after the abutment healed. The patient was followed up clinically and radiographically after 6 months of initial surgery. Periodic evaluation did not reveal any pathological periimplant bone loss.</p><p>Conclusions: Complications are an expected occurrence and can compromise the entire treatment. Invasion of the maxillary sinus by implant can occur during or after surgery. A competent surgeon is needed to prepare an appropriate pre-treatment evaluation, to prepare an appropriate treatment plan and adequately to recognize a complication during surgical procedure and appropriately to approach its solution and minimize the negative outcome.</p><p>Recommendations: With adequate knowledge of anatomy and procedures as well as considering the possibilities for avoiding complications, by managing and planning a possible treatment a satisfactory result will be achieved in an appropriate patient.</p> ER -
