Study design: In this case report, we present maxillary Pseudomonas aeruginosa sinusitis in an immunocompetent patient who underwent an autologous bone transplant for the insertion of dental implants. Results: The infection was eradicated after removal of the dental implants and long-term antibiotic therapy. Conclusion: Despite the infection resolution, severe complications were observed with important legal consequences.
