Because the maxillary posterior teeth are close to the maxillary sinus, this can also cause clinical problems if any disease processes are present, such as an infection in any of these teeth. These clinical problems can include secondary sinusitis, the inflammation of the sinuses from another source such as an infection of the adjacent teeth. [6]
The maxillary sinus can normally be seen above the level of the premolar and molar teeth in the upper jaw. This dental x-ray film shows how, in the absence of the second premolar and first molar, the sinus became pneumatized and expanded towards the crest of the alveolar process (location at which the bone meets the gum tissue).
Odontogenic sinusitis is a type of sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), specifically caused by dental infections or procedures. [1] Comprising approximately 10-12% of all chronic sinusitis cases, this condition primarily affects the maxillary sinus, which is in close proximity to the upper teeth. [2]
Odontogenic sinusitis is an inflammatory condition of the paranasal sinuses that is the result of dental pathology, most often resulting from prior dentoalveolar procedures, infections of maxillary dentition, or maxillary dental trauma. [6] Infections associated with teeth may be responsible for approximately 20% of cases of maxillary sinusitis ...
The four paired sinuses or air cavities can be referred to as: Ethmoid sinus cavities which are located between the eyes. Frontal sinus cavities which can be found above the eyes (more in the forehead region). Maxillary sinus cavities are located on either side of the nostrils (cheekbone areas). Sphenoid sinuses that are located behind the eyes ...
The floor of the sinus will now be roughly 10mm or so more superior than it was before, providing enough room to place dental implants into the edentulous site. In anatomy , the Schneiderian membrane is the membranous lining of the maxillary sinus cavity . [ 1 ]
Tongue-ties affect nearly 5 percent of all newborns. What are the signs a baby has a tongue-tie? And how is tongue-tie treated? Yahoo Life asked parents and experts to share their own stories.
Sinusitis is a condition that affects both children and adults. It is caused by a combination of environmental and a person's individual health factors. [8] It can occur in individuals with allergies, exposure to environmental irritants, structural abnormalities of the nasal cavity and sinuses and poor immune function. [9]
