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 ...
A maxillary implant is an implant that is placed between the jaw and the maxillary sinuses. It is inserted during a sinus lift or augmentation, and is used to increase the amount of bone to support dental implants. [1] Implants are either inserted after drilling, or by using a non-drilling method known as the osteotome technique. [1]
Placement of dental implants is a surgical procedure and carries the normal risks of surgery including infection, excessive bleeding and necrosis of the flap of tissue around the implant. Nearby anatomic structures, such as the inferior alveolar nerve , the maxillary sinus and blood vessels, can also be injured when the osteotomy is created or ...
Maxillary sinusitis is common due to the close anatomic relation of the frontal sinus, anterior ethmoidal sinus and the maxillary teeth, allowing for easy spread of infection. Differential diagnosis of dental problems needs to be done due to the close proximity to the teeth since the pain from sinusitis can seem to be dentally related. [ 1 ]
The maxillary sinus is known for its thin floor and close proximity to the posterior maxillary (upper) teeth. [ 1 ] [ 6 ] The extraction of a maxillary tooth (typically a maxillary first molar which lies close to the lowest point of antral floor although any premolar or molar can be affected) is the most common cause of an OAC (which can then ...
Xray showing a sinus lift in the left upper jaw Sinus lift surgery, 3D Illustration. Maxillary sinus floor augmentation [1] (also termed as sinus lift, sinus graft, sinus augmentation, or sinus procedure) is a surgical procedure that aims to increase the amount of bone in the posterior maxilla (upper jaw bone), in the area of the premolar and molar teeth, by lifting the lower Schneiderian ...
Antral lavage is a largely obsolete [citation needed] surgical procedure in which a cannula is inserted into the maxillary sinus via the inferior meatus to allow irrigation and drainage of the sinus. [1] It is also called proof puncture, as the presence of an infection can be proven during the procedure.
