We report the clinical case of a female patient who presented to our emergency department due to a septal abscess caused by the displacement of a dental implant into the nasal septum. The patient underwent surgical treatment for endoscopic foreign body excision and septal abscess drainage. Despite the presence of septal cartilage destruction, the L-shaped structure was preserved and no reconstruction was required. Postoperative healing was uneventful.
