This case report presents a 48-year-old male with no significant medical history who sought dental care due to recurrent abscesses on the distal abutment of a five-unit maxillary bridge. Clinical and radiographic evaluations, including Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), revealed a pathologic lesion associated with the second molar, insufficient alveolar bone height in the posterior maxilla, and a radiopaque mass on the sinus floor. Methods: A one-stage surgical approach was planned, involving the second molar extraction, the sinus cyst removal, sinus floor elevation, and simultaneous implant placement. The prosthetic restoration was completed six months postoperatively. Results: Over an 88-month follow-up period, no prosthetic complications were observed, and the patient reported high satisfaction with the restoration\u2019s function and aesthetics. Conclusions: This case highlights a single-stage surgical strategy\u2019s feasibility and long-term success in managing asymptomatic maxillary sinus mucoceles while optimizing implant placement and rehabilitation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm14061946","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,13]],"date-time":"2025-03-13T10:16:45Z","timestamp":1741861005000},"page":"1946","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["One-Stage Surgical Management of an Asymptomatic Maxillary Sinus Mucocele with Immediate Lateral Sinus Lift and Simultaneous Implant Placement: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Alexandru","family":"Burcea","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speciality Disciplines, \u201cTitu Maiorescu\u201d University, 031593 Bucharest, Romania"},{"name":"Helpdent Dental Clinic, 030175 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5965-893X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia Florina","family":"Bogdan-Andreescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speciality Disciplines, \u201cTitu Maiorescu\u201d University, 031593 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9783-149X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristina-Crengu\u0163a","family":"Albu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Genetics, Faculty of Dentistry, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cristian-Viorel","family":"Poalelungi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department 9, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andreea-Mariana","family":"B\u0103n\u0103\u021beanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speciality Disciplines, \u201cTitu Maiorescu\u201d University, 031593 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0085-2081","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emin","family":"Cadar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, \u201cOvidius\u201d University, 900470 Constanta, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liviu Gabriel","family":"Mirea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Helpdent Dental Clinic, 030175 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lauren\u0163iu-Camil","family":"Boh\u00eeltea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Genetics, Faculty of Medicine, \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 020021 Bucharest, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"e3","article-title":"Maxillary Sinus Floor Augmentation: A Review of Selected Treatment Modalities","volume":"8","author":"Jensen","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
