Abstract :
This article describes the cause of a sinus tract developed four years after implant-supported prosthodontic treatment. The sinus tract and pain appeared to be associated with an accidentally embedded piece of condensation silicone impression material. The residual material was removed by a simple surgical incision. Clinicians should be aware of the odds of this event and take it into consideration whenever there is a similar postoperative problem.
