Treatment of Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis with the Use of Growth Factors in Advanced Platelet-Rich Fibrin for Immediate Closure of Oro-Antral Communication: A Case Report. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4339. [PMID: 38673924 PMCID: PMC11049874 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25084339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Chronic odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (COMS), a prolonged inflammation of the maxillary sinus lasting over 12 weeks, is often a result of periapical lesions, marginal periodontitis, and complications like oro-antral communication (OAC) and fistula (OAF). OAC, commonly emerging post-teeth extraction in the lateral maxilla, lacks documented treatments using advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF). This study evaluates A-PRF's efficacy in treating COMS and immediately sealing extensive OAC. A case of a 28-year-old male with COMS linked to a periapical lesion and supernumerary molars is presented. Treatment involved extracting specific teeth while preserving adjacent ones and using A-PRF for immediate OAC closure. A-PRF, enriched with growth factors, was pivotal in healing, showcasing enhanced tissue regeneration, pain reduction, and faster recovery. The findings suggest A-PRF as an effective adjunct in treating extensive OAC and COMS, proposing its inclusion in standard treatment protocols. This study underscores A-PRF's potential in improving outcomes for patients with COMS and related complications.

[PMID: 37519707 PMCID: PMC10372233 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effects of factors related to periapical lesions (PALs) on sinus membrane thickening (SMT) in the Chinese population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods In this retrospective study, CBCT images (n = 512) of maxillary sinuses of 446 patients were evaluated by two examiners for SMT and PALs, PAL size, and the distance between the maxillary sinus floor (MSF), and the PAL's edge/root apex. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance, the Kruskal-Wallis test, χ2-test, and logistic regression. Results A binary logistic regression model showed that the prevalence and severity of SMT > 2 mm were significantly associated with older age (>60 years) (odds ratio [OR]: 4.03, 95% confidence interval [CI]): 2.24-7.72, P < 0.001], male sex (OR: 2.08, 95% CI: 1.21-3.56, P < 0.006), and PALs (OR: 6.89, 95% CI: 3.93-12.08, P < 0.001). The type of contact and penetration between the MSF and PALs or root apex showed a more significant relation with SMT > 2 mm than did distance after adjusting for confounding factors, including age and sex (PALs: OR = 10.17 and 14.57, P < 0.001; root apex: OR = 3.49 and 5.86, P < 0.001). Conclusions The prevalence and severity of SMT were significantly associated with older age, male sex, PALs, PAL size, and the distance between the MSF and PALs/root apex. Therefore, communication between dental surgeons and an otolaryngology specialist is important for the timely diagnosis and treatment of SMT of dental origin.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to determine which patient-related, anatomical, pathologic, or iatrogenic variables may be directly associated with and which may have a modifying effect on the generation of maxillary sinus (MS) mucosal thickenings. METHODS A total of 278 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans obtained from 114 males and 164 females were evaluated. The protocol included the assessment of 21 candidate variables, of which 18 were bilateral and 3 were unique. The relationship among the study variables and the mucosal thickenings were examined individually and adjusted for confounding using univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression models. RESULTS The prevalence of mucosal thickenings was 71.20% at patient level and 53.40% at sinus level. The ostium height > 28.15 mm, the infundibulum length ≤ 9.55 mm, the infundibulum width ≤ 0.50 mm, along the occurrence of periapical lesions and slight-to-severe periodontal bone loss acted as strong/independent risk variables for MS mucosal thickenings. Confounding and interaction relationships between MS height and depth, and between the alveolar process type and the presence of foreign materials with respect to age stratum > 47.50 years might be also associated with the mucosal thickenings. CONCLUSIONS While increased ostium height, decreased infundibulum length/width, the presence of periapical lesions and periodontal involvement might be the foremost indicator variables for MS mucosal thickenings, there are synergistic relationships among the increased sinus height and depth as well as aging regarding atrophic/partially atrophic alveolar process status and the presence of foreign materials that may be also associated with a greater proportion of these mucosal abnormalities.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The overall prevalence of maxillary sinusitis of odontogenic origin (MSOO) is still unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of MSOO and verify associations between different odontogenic conditions and MSOO. METHODS Six electronic databases and the gray literature were searched on August 25, 2022. Two independent reviewers selected observational studies reporting the prevalence of MSOO and associated conditions in adults. Studies that did not use computed tomography for diagnosis were excluded. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Cross-Sectional Studies. Data were analyzed by proportion and association meta-analyses. The certainty of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. RESULTS Thirty-eight studies were included in the qualitative analysis and thirty-one in the meta-analyses. Only 12 studies (31.6%) fulfilled all items of the methodological quality checklist. Overall, the studies reported prevalence measures per maxillary sinus or patient. Thus, the pooled prevalence of MSOO was 51% per sinus (95% confidence interval [CI] [40%-61%]) and 50% per patient (95% CI [41%-59%]). Apical lesion (odds ratio [OR]: 4.03, 95% CI [2.26-7.19]), periodontitis (OR: 5.49, 95% CI [2.27-13.24]), moderate (OR: 2.57, 95% CI [1.85-3.57]) and severe bone loss (OR: 13.80, 95% CI [2.81-67.85] were significantly associated with MSOO. The certainty of the evidence for the associations was very low. CONCLUSIONS The pooled prevalence of MSOO on computed tomography assessment was 51% per maxillary sinus and 50% per patient. Therefore, half of the maxillary sinusitis may be of odontogenic origin. Apical lesion, periodontitis, and moderate and severe bone loss were significantly associated with MSOO.

Abstract
Inflammatory conditions of dental origin may spread to the bone tissue, causing its destruction, and to anatomical structures located in the vicinity of the tooth affected with inflammation. Maxillary premolars and molars may develop inflammatory lesions of the Schneiderian membrane and lead to tooth-borne lesions in the maxillary sinuses. Unilateral inflammation of the maxillary sinuses should be diagnosed and treated. The aim of this study was to determine whether and after what time from the applied endodontic or nonsurgical periodontal treatment the inflammation in the maxillary sinus was diminished (assessed by the decrease in the Schneiderian membrane hypertrophy). A retrospective study was performed to analyze the records of endodontically, periodontally, or endodontically-periodontally treated patients with unilateral inflammation of the maxillary sinuses along with diagnostic Cone Beam Computed Tomography. The method for determination of the inflammation was measurements registered in millimeters in Carestream software. The analysis included the situation before treatment and 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after completion of the treatment. Regardless of the origin of the maxillary sinus lesion, healing of inflammation of the sinus has been reported after the implementation of causative treatment of the maxillary tooth. Dental treatment reduces the need to implement conservative or surgical ENT treatment.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of maxillary sinus mucosal thickening and compare it to the presence of odontogenic pathology of adjacent teeth. Three hundred and twenty-one full maxilla cone-beam computed tomography scans were examined. The parameters investigated included signs of maxillary sinus mucosal thickening and the diagnosis and proximity of the adjacent teeth. Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS version-16.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Out of the 2001 teeth examined, 888 (44.4%) were associated with mucosal thickening with a significant difference between the different tooth types (p = 0.04). Mucosal thickening in a maxillary sinus was more likely if the neighboring teeth had apical disease. Interruption of the maxillary sinus floor was noticed more in specific teeth, particularly the first and second molars (p < 0.001). Sinusitis of odontogenic origin can be more prevalent than clinicians expect. The treatment of odontogenic sinusitis should be straightforward, whereby the diseased tooth is root treated or extracted. The sinusitis will then resolve if there are no other etiological factors.

Abstract
Simple Summary Changes in the sinus membrane, in the form of thickening or opacification, usually pose problems of differential diagnosis between rhinological and odontogenic causes, given the similarity in their clinical behaviour. The interrelation between tooth roots and the possibility of maxillary sinus involvement seems to be a key determinant. Moreover, the role played by iatrogenic factors, especially surgical interventions, such as dental extractions, or impacted teeth, as well as implant treatments, must be considered. The contribution of new imaging procedures, such as conventional computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography, has triggered an increase in the identification of dental aetiology as a cause of the unilateral opacification of the anterior paranasal sinuses with the predominant involvement of the maxillary sinus. Abstract The aim of this study was to identify the most relevant dental factors and iatrogenic causes in the development of pathological changes to the sinus membrane and to analyse their possible influence on the development of odontogenic sinusitis. A descriptive, observational study was designed, with 276 patients who had been evaluated via cone beam computed tomography, analysing possible sinus thickening factors, such as apical infections, endodontic treatments, periodontitis, radicular cysts and impacted teeth, as well as iatrogenic factors caused by implant treatments or the development of oroantral communications produced during tooth extraction manoeuvres. Among the dental factors, periodontitis (47.1%), apical pathology (23.5%) and endodontic treatments (23.1%) were the predominant causes of sinus membrane thickening that most frequently produced an occupancy between 2 and 10 mm. Regarding the implant treatments, the placement of implants through the floor of the maxillary sinus was the main cause (9.8%), followed by sinus elevation techniques (6.2%). Dental extraction was the first cause of oroantral communication (5.0%), being the procedure that caused the greatest thickening of the sinus membrane. This study highlights the importance of dental treatments and iatrogenic factors in sinus pathology, and the need for diagnostic interrelations between the different specialists who address this pathology.

Abstract
PURPOSE Endodontic disease is one of the most common causes of bacterial odontogenic sinusitis (ODS). Diagnosing ODS of endodontic origin involves otolaryngologists confirming sinusitis, and dental specialists confirming endodontic sources. The purpose of this study was to conduct a multidisciplinary literature review to highlight clinical and microbiological features of ODS, and the most optimal diagnostic modalities to confirm endodontic disease. METHODS An extensive review of both medical and dental literature was performed by rhinologists, endodontists, and an infectious disease specialist. Frequencies of various clinical and microbiological features from ODS studies were collected, and averages were calculated. Different endodontic testing and imaging modalities were also evaluated on their abilities to confirm endodontic disease. RESULTS ODS patients most often present with unilateral sinonasal symptoms for over 3 months, purulence on nasal endoscopy, and overt dental pathology on computed tomography (CT). Subjective foul smell, and maxillary sinus cultures demonstrating anaerobes and α-streptococci (viridans group) may be more specific to ODS. For endodontic evaluations, cold pulp testing and cone-beam CT imaging are most optimal for confirming pulpal and periapical disease. CONCLUSION Diagnosing ODS requires collaboration between otolaryngologists and dental specialists. Clinicians should suspect ODS when patients present with unilateral sinonasal symptoms, especially foul smell. Patients will generally have purulent drainage on nasal endoscopy, and both sinus opacification and overt dental pathology on CT. However, some patients will have subtle or absent dental pathology on CT. For suspected endodontic disease, endodontists should be consulted for at least cold pulp testing, and ideally cone-beam CT.

Abstract
Background Hemostasis is of critical importance in endodontic surgery. Studies on bleeding control in maxillary molars are scarce. The present study compares the efficacy of two hemostatic techniques in controlling bleeding in endodontic surgery.
Material and Methods A randomized two-arm pilot study involving 30 patients with peri-radicular lesions in maxillary molars (first and second molars) was carried out including the following hemostatic agents: polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) strips as an adjunct to epinephrine impregnated gauze (test group; n = 15) and aluminum chloride (Expasyl™) (control; n = 15). Bleeding control was independently assessed by the surgeon and by two blinded observers before and after application of the hemostatic agent, and was classified as either adequate (complete bleeding control) or inadequate (incomplete bleeding control).
Results Bleeding control was similar in both groups. Simple binary logistic regression analysis failed to identify variables affecting bleeding control. Only the height of the keratinized mucosal band (≥ 2 mm) suggested a decreased risk of inadequate bleeding control of up to 89% (OR=0.11; p=0.06).
Conclusions No difference in the efficacy of bleeding control was observed between PTFE strips as an adjunct to epinephrine impregnated gauze and aluminum chloride in maxillary molars. Key words:PTFE-strips, aluminum chloride, endodontic surgery, epinephrine, hemostasis, hemostatic agent, molars.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate an association between odontogenic infections (OI) and maxillary sinuses pathologic disorder (MSPD). The distance between the sinus floor and the root apex of upper posterior teeth was also assessed. METHODS Out of 4,402 cone beam computed tomography scans, 230 were selected, and 431 teeth were evaluated regarding the presence of OI: bone loss with furcation involvement, periapical and endodontic-periodontal lesions. The maxillary sinuses were assessed regarding the presence of MSPD, which was considered as mucosal thickening, opacification of the sinus and mucous retention cyst. RESULTS There was a significant association between OI and MSPD (p < .001). Periodontal bone loss with furcation involvement, periapical lesions and endodontic-periodontal lesions increased the risk of opacification of the sinuses by 11.6, 34.1 and 228.8 times, respectively. The frequency of the different types of MSP showed not to be associated with a group of teeth or dental root. Conversely, the presence of MSP was associated with a significant shorter distance between the palatine root apex and the sinus floor (p < .001). CONCLUSION There is a relationship between infectious process of teeth and MSPD. The proximity between the apex of palatine roots and the maxillary sinus floor showed to be a predisposing factor for MSPD.

Clinical Detection of Chronic Rhinosinusitis through Next-Generation Sequencing of the Oral Microbiota. Microorganisms 2020; 8:microorganisms8060959. [PMID: 32604855 PMCID: PMC7356624 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms8060959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2020] [Revised: 06/23/2020] [Accepted: 06/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is the chronic inflammation of the sinus cavities of the upper respiratory tract, which can be caused by a disrupted microbiome. However, the role of the oral microbiome in CRS is not well understood. Polymicrobial and anaerobic infections of CRS frequently increased the difficulty of cultured and antibiotic therapy. This study aimed to elucidate the patterns and clinical feasibility of the oral microbiome in CRS diagnosis. Matched saliva and nasal swabs were collected from 18 CRS patients and 37 saliva specimens from normal volunteers were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing. The α-diversity of the saliva displayed no significant difference between control and CRS patients, whereas the β-diversity was significantly different (p = 0.004). Taxonomic indices demonstrated that Veillonella dispar, Rothia mucilaginosa, and Porphyromonas endodontalis were enriched, while Campylobacter and Cardiobacterium were reduced in the saliva of CRS patients. These microbial markers could significantly distinguish CRS patients from control (AUC = 0.939). It is noted that the 16S rRNA results of the nasal swab were consistent with the nasopharynx aerobic culture, and additionally detected multiple pathogens in CRS patients. In summary, these results indicated these oral microbiomes may provide a novel signal for CRS detection and that NGS may be an alternative approach for CRS diagnosis.

Abstract
Background/purpose Maxillary posterior teeth have close anatomical proximity to the maxillary sinus floor. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the associations between maxillary sinus membrane thickening and the adjacent teeth health by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and methods CBCT images were collected from 235 Taiwanese patients. The sinus mucosal thickening >2 mm is considered a pathologic sinus membrane. Demographic data such as sex, age, the thickness of sinus membrane, and the adjacent teeth health were recorded, graded, and analyzed. Results A total prevalence of maxillary sinus membrane thickening of 36.6% (86/235) was found in this study. The sinus membrane thickening was significantly associated with periodontal bone loss (p < 0.001) and periapical lesions (p < 0.001), respectively. A multivariate logistic regression model demonstrated that males had a significantly higher risk of sinus membrane thickening than females (OR: 2.08, 95% CI = 1.21–3.56). The patients in the age group ≥60 years showed a 4.35-fold increased risk of sinus membrane thickening compared with the patients in the age group ≤35 years (95% CI: 1.94–9.77). Severe periodontal bone loss was significantly associated with mucosal thickening with an OR of 4.78 as compared with normal to mild group (95% CI: 1.69–13.58). The patients having teeth with apical lesions had a 5.04 time OR for sinus membrane thickening than those having teeth without apical lesions (95% C.I.: 2.37–10.69). Conclusion The prevalence of maxillary sinus membrane thickening was more frequently occurred in male and older people. Periodontal bone loss and periapical lesions were significantly associated with maxillary sinus membrane thickening.

Abstract
Background A study is made of the association between maxillary sinus pathology and odontogenic lesions in patients evaluated with cone beam computed tomography.
Material and Methods A literature search was made in five databases and OpenGrey. Methodological assessment was carried out using the Newcastle-Ottawa tool for observational studies. The random-effects model was used for the meta-analysis.
Results Twenty-one studies were included in the qualitative review and 6 in the meta-analysis. Most presented moderate or low risk of bias. The periodontal disease showed to be associated with the thickening of the sinus membrane (TSM). Mucous retention cysts and opacities were reported in few studies. The presence of periapical lesions (PALs) was significantly associated to TSM (OR=2.43 (95%CI:1.71-3.46); I2=34.5%) and to odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) (OR=1.77 (95%CI: 1.20-2.61); I2=35.5%).
Conclusions The presence of PALs increases the probability of TSM and OMS up to 2.4-fold and 1.7-fold respectively. The risk differences suggests that about 58 and 37 of out every 100 maxillary sinuses having antral teeth with PALs are associated with an increased risk TSM and OMS respectively. The meta-evidence obtained in this study was of moderate certainty, and although the magnitude of the observed associations may vary, their direction in favor sinus disorders appearance, would not change as a result.

Abstract
Background Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) participates in the local defense of the upper respiratory tract. Abnormal FeNO level is directly related to the occurrence of nasal diseases. However, the clinical value of FeNO in the upper airway is limited, which greatly impedes the diagnosis and treatment of nasal diseases. Here, we assessed the level of FeNO and evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of FeNO for chronic rhinosinusitis. Material/Methods We enrolled 35 patients with confirmed nasal inflammation and 30 healthy subjects from December 2016 and June 2017. The FeNO level was measured using a fractional exhaled nitric oxide detector. The level of FeNO in patients with different clinicopathological factors was compared. The diagnostic potential of FeNO for chronic rhinosinusitis was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results FeNO level was significantly lower in patients with nasal inflammation than in healthy subjects (P<0.05). For nasal inflammation diagnosis, FeNO had the highest area under the curve (AUC) at 0.760, with a sensitivity of 93.30% and a specificity of 68.60%. FeNO level was significantly downregulated in chronic rhinosinusitis patients relative to chronic rhinitis patients (P<0.05). FeNO had a good ability to discriminate between chronic rhinosinusitis patients and chronic rhinitis patients, with higher AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.760, 93.30%, and 68.60%, respectively. However, FeNO levels were not significantly different between different histological types of chronic rhinosinusitis (P>0.05). Conclusions Our results show that FeNO is a useful marker for discriminating chronic rhinosinusitis, and has potential to provide valuable information in the early diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Are patients with symptomatic unilateral maxillary sinusitis sent for a dental evaluation of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS)? PATIENTS AND METHODS The medical records of all patients diagnosed with sinusitis at a university Ear-nose and throat (ENT) clinic from 2010 to 2015 were scrutinized for symptomatic unilateral maxillary sinusitis verified on CT. Any dental evaluation was recorded, as well as symptoms of OMS, duration to dental evaluation, diagnosis of OMS and dental treatment. RESULTS A total of 1338 patients diagnosed with sinusitis were screened; 172 had unilateral maxillary sinusitis and 48% (82/172) OMS. 34% did not have any dental evaluation at all. Patients referred to local specialist dental care waited a median of 11 weeks for evaluation and a median of 15 weeks further for dental treatment. Symptoms more frequently reported in OMS patients were foul smell or taste (43.9% vs 11.1%, p < .0001), purulent rhinorrhea (40% vs 19.1%, p = .015) than non-OMS patients. The OMS group also reported more frequently that they were active smokers (31.7% vs 10%, p = .0005). CONCLUSIONS OMS was found in 48% of unilateral maxillary sinusitis and one-third of the patients with unilateral maxillary sinusitis had no dental evaluation. Low awareness of OMS could delay diagnosis and treatment.
