Резюме
A patient suffered from episodes of dizziness and nausea immediately after the placement of 4 implants in his edentulous maxilla. During the treatment implant drills and osteotomes had been used. During the following 6 months, the complaints disappeared gradually. The presentation fitted the not very well-known diagnosis traumatic labyrinthine concussion. Before treating patients with oral implants in the maxilla, it is necessary to inform them about this potential invalidating complication. The complication can be prevented by using a screw-type bone spreader, which renders the use of a surgical hammer unnecessary.
