Odontogenic Factors Associated with Maxillary Sinus Schneiderian Membrane Thickness and their Relationship to Chronic Sinonasal Symptoms: An Ambispective Cohort Study. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:2710. [PMID: 37627969 PMCID: PMC10453369 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13162710] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Odontogenic sinusitis is a common maxillary sinus disease. It develops due to the violation of the Schneiderian membrane due to pathological, iatrogenic, or traumatic causes from dental and dentoalveolar structures. The aim of this cohort study was to investigate local and systemic factors associated with Schneiderian mucosal thickening (MT) in patients referred for evaluation of apical periodontitis (AP) and examine their relationship with chronic sinonasal symptoms. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 197 patients referred for evaluation of endodontic diseases were reviewed. Mucosal thickening in relation to the affected tooth was measured in the coronal section in millimeters at the maximum area perpendicular to the bone. Based on this measurement, the sinus floor was categorized for MT as present (>1 mm) or absent (<1 mm). The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the study participants were assessed and compared according to the presence or absence of MT. Furthermore, the relationship between odontogenic sinusitis and chronic sinonasal symptoms was assessed using a chronic sinusitis survey. Male patients had a higher MT than female patients. The presence of periapical lesions and inadequate endodontic treatment were significantly associated with MT. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that the presence of AP increased the odds of MT by approximately 2.5 times (p = 0.028), and nasal obstruction was significantly higher in patients diagnosed with mucosal thickness at different times of their follow-up period (p = 0.018). MT was 2.5 times more likely in the presence of apical periodontitis, and nasal obstruction was the most significant factor associated with the presence of MT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The microbiome plays a crucial role in odontogenic sinusitis (OS); however, the bacterial characteristics of the sinuses and connected dental regions in OS are poorly understood. In this study, nasal secretion samples were collected from 41 OS patients and 20 simple nasal septum deviation patients, and oral mucosa samples from dental regions were collected from 28 OS patients and 22 impacted tooth extraction patients. DNA was extracted, and 16S rRNA sequencing was performed to explore the characteristics and structure of the microbiome in the sinuses and dental regions of OS patients. RESULTS The alpha diversity of the oral and nasal microbiomes in OS patients was higher than that in controls. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) showed that oral samples clustered separately from nasal samples, and the beta diversity of oral and nasal samples in OS patients was higher than that in controls. The dominant phylum was Bacteroidetes in OS patients and Firmicutes in controls in both the oral and nasal cavity. The dominant genera in the oral microbiome and nasal microbiome of OS patients were similar, including Fusobacterium, Porphyromonas and Prevotella. Co-occurrence network analysis showed decreased microbial connectivity in the oral mucosa and nasal secretion samples of OS patients. CONCLUSIONS Odontogenic infection promotes structural and functional disorders of the nasal microbiome in OS. The interaction of dominant pathogens in the nasal and oral regions may promote the development of OS. Our study provides the microbiological aetiology of the nasal and connected dental regions in OS and is expected to provide novel insights into the diagnosis and therapeutic strategies for OS.

Abstract
Oroantral communication is an unnatural communication of the maxillary sinus with the oral cavity, often resulting from dental extractions, infection, trauma, or excision of cysts or tumors. Pathological epithelialization of oroantral communication leads to oroantral fistula. Various techniques have been proposed for surgical closure. Uneventful healing of the defect can be achieved in the absence of antral infection. Hence, medical management of maxillary sinusitis should precede surgical closure of the defect. Here, we report a case of an oroantral fistula of the left maxillary third molar, caused by a secondary infection of the extraction site, managed primarily by antibiotics, topical steroids, and irrigating agents followed by surgical closure. It is essential to carefully inspect the post-extraction socket of maxillary teeth due to its high risk of development of oroantral communication. Also, the management of oroantral communications needs early detection to prevent infection and to prevent transforming into an oroantral fistula. In case of an infected oroantral communication or fistula, priority rests on treating the infection first and followed by surgical repair.

Abstract
Introduction and objective: The aim of this review is to evaluate to what extent sinus pathology originates from dental pathology or treatment, and to assess the occurrence frequency of sinus pathology in its different forms using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Method: The literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus and the Cochrane Library. Forty-two articles were included (25 case series, ten cross- sectional studies, three case-control studies, two cohort studies, one prospective study, and one retrospective study).
Results: Forty-two articles involving a total of 13,191 patients and 17,374 CBCTs were included in this review. The most frequent pathological findings were, by a considerable degree, inflammatory diseases, which represented 75.16% of the total findings, followed by infection (12.13%), tumours (6.88%), and high pneumatisation (2.07%). Within dental pathology, there is a direct Pearson correlation with polyps (1) and opacification (0.999), and an almost direct correlation with retention cysts (0.981) and sinus-associated dental elements (0.972).
Conclusions: Our results further support the argument that dental modifications and treatments are an important cause of sinus pathology. For this reason, dental aetiologies must be taken into account by both dentists, maxillofacial surgeons and ENT when considering the most appropriate treatment for patients with maxillary sinusitis.

Abstract
Diagnosis and management of sinonasal complications of dental diseases or treatment (SCDDT) may be challenging. We aimed to report our real-life experience in patients treated with endoscopic endonasal approach describing data about symptoms, etiology, extension of the disease and success rate. We evaluated retrospectively data about 262 patients diagnosed as SCDDT and managed from August 2015 to May 2022. In 44.65% cases, maxillary sinus complications were determined by a dental disorder; the remaining 55.34% of cases were iatrogenic. Patients were managed according to our multidisciplinary protocol including ENT, dental, and radiological evaluation. Treatments were planned with a personalized approach, based on the patient’s clinical characteristics; all patients were treated with an endonasal endoscopic mini-invasive conservative approach. Combined dental treatment was performed simultaneously in 152/262 (58%) of patients; in the remaining cases, it was postponed after surgery. The overall treatment success rate (symptom resolution and endoscopically observed maxillary sinus healing) was 96.5%. At 15 days after surgery, we observed a significant improvement in the quality of life. The mean post-operative Sinonasal outcome test-22 (SNOT-22) score was significantly lower compared to baseline (6 versus 43.4; p < 0.05). Our study showed that endoscopic sinus surgery can be a successful procedure for treatment of SCDDT, leading to fast resolution of sinonasal symptoms and improving the quality of life. Furthermore, the technique allows removal of migrated dental material or dental implants even in challenging cases.

Abstract
A 28-year-old male patient was referred from an otorhinolaryngologist for managing unilateral chronic maxillary sinusitis (MS). The patient had undergone two functional endoscopic sinus surgeries (FESS), although the MS was not resolved. Based on his dental history, endodontic treatment had been done on the symptomatic area. A leak of endodontic sealer and peri-apical lesion on tooth #14 was found on cone-beam computed tomographic examination. Extraction of tooth #14 and the modified Caldwell-Luc operation were performed to remove the endodontic sealer material and relevant inflammatory tissue. The sinus membrane lining was maintained as much as possible during the surgery. Implant placement was performed on the tooth extraction site. All clinical symptoms disappeared after the surgery. Radiographic and endoscopic examination revealed successful osseointegration of the implant and complete resolution of the MS. FESS alone may not be sufficient to treat MS derived from dental origin. For unilateral MS, dental history should be carefully checked.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE The oro-antral communication (OAC) is a pathological opening between the maxillary sinus and the oral cavity. When it does not close spontaneously or if it is not treated, it remains permeable and epithelializes to develop into an oro-antral fistula (OAF) and can cause maxillary sinusitis. CASES PRESENTATION The authors present through 5 clinical cases the different steps of the surgical protocols opting for the buccal fat pad flap and the advanced buccal flap to treat OAF/OAC. CLINICAL DISCUSSION Surgical closure of the OAC within 48 h is recommended to avoid complications. Several alternative techniques have been described over the years for the management of the OAC and OAF, with their advantages and limitations. The most commonly used surgical flaps are of two types: the advanced buccal flap and the buccal fat pad (BFP) flap. CONCLUSION The adequate availability of the advanced buccal flap and the buccal fat pad (BFP) flap in the majority of patients, the easy handling, the minimal donor site morbidity as well as the excellent blood supply make them perfect flaps for the closure of OAF/OAC. However, follow-up remains a key point and very important to avoid complications. The present case series was limited by the small number of patients and the authors recommend a study with larger groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the Valsalva maneuver on pain and vasovagal reactions during femoral arterial sheath removal in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. DESIGN This study was a randomized controlled trial. METHODS In this study, 60 patients undergoing elective coronary angioplasty were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups. After angioplasty, the patients in the intervention group performed the Valsalva maneuver (20-30 mm Hg) for 10 seconds during the sheath removal. Conversely, in the control group, no inspiratory pressure was applied. Before and immediately after the sheath removal, the patients' pain, vital signs, and vasovagal reactions were measured. FINDINGS The primary characteristics of the patients were similar in the two groups. The patients in the intervention group had significantly lower pain scores during femoral sheath removal compared to the control group (2.33 ± 1.56 vs 5.56 ± 3.08, P < .001). The Valsalva maneuver during femoral sheath removal decreased the patients' heart rate in the intervention group compared to the control group (78.26 ± 12.37 vs 85.46 ± 11.79, P < .001); however, blood pressure and vasovagal reactions were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that the Valsalva maneuver during femoral arterial sheath removal can reduce the pain severity score, without increasing the incidence of vasovagal reactions.

Abstract
Introduction: Foreign bodies (FB) of the paranasal sinuses are an uncommon clinical entities with the maxillary sinuses being those most frequently affected. According to the literature, 60% of paranasal sinus FB are of iatrogenic origin, while 25% are of traumatic origin. This article aims to present an iatrogenic origin series of cases of FB displaced or projecting into the maxillary sinus. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, the presence of the foreign body was revealed with radiologic methods and confirmed during the operation with macroscopic or later with histopathologic examination. All cases were treated with osteoplasty with vascularised pedicled bone flap or through minimally invasive intraoral procedure. Results: A total of 27 patients were included in our study, 14 men and 13 women. The age range was 18–65 years with mean age of 46.14 (standard deviation = 10.35) years. Foreign body was displaced fragments of teeth in 11 patients (40.27%), complete teeth in four patients (14.81%), dental implants in five patients (18.51%), dental impression material in 2 cases (7,40%), gutta percha cone in two patients (7.40%), endodontic sealer associated with aspergillosis in two patients (7.40%), and dental burr in one patient (3.7%). The time between dental foreign body displacement and the surgical intervention for its removal was critical for the occurrence of sinusitis. All operated patients remained asymptomatic during a follow-up of at least 1 year. Discussion: Prompt intervention for removal of FB eliminates the risk for chronic inflammation of the affected maxillary sinus and reduces the odds for sequelae.

Abstract
Objectives To explore the alterations in maxillary sinus mucosal thickening after extracting teeth with severe periodontal disease using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods 30 patients with severe periodontal disease of maxillary posterior teeth that needed to be extracted and who were radiographically diagnosed with mucosal thickening (MT) in the maxillary sinus participated in the study. CBCT scans were taken before tooth extraction and 2-29 months after tooth extraction. The postextraction follow-up time was divided into two groups: group 1 (<4 months) and group 2 (≥4 months). Dimensions of maxillary sinus MT, including the MT zone length (SL) and the maximum thickness of the MT zone (ST), were evaluated preextraction and postextraction; the residual ridge height (RRH) was evaluated at the sites of extracted and nonextracted teeth. Result Of the 24 patients with unilateral tooth extraction, there was a statistically significant difference in MT between the extraction and nonextraction sides (p < 0.05). The RRH at the site of the extracted teeth was significantly lower than that of the nonextracted teeth (p < 0.05). MT decreased significantly after tooth extraction on the extraction side but not on the nonextraction side. There was no significant difference between group 1 and group 2 regarding the reduction in mucosal thickness over time. Conclusions Severe periodontitis can cause MT in the maxillary sinus. The RRH was lower at the sites of extracted teeth. MT reduced quickly by a thorough debridement after tooth extraction in 4 months. MT will not decrease further over time.

Abstract
Background: The detailed relationship between apical periodontitis and maxillary sinus mucosal thickening is still unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between maxillary posterior teeth periapical odontogenic lesions and maxillary sinus mucosal (MSM) thickening by using volumetric 3D CT analysis. Methods: A total of 83 subjects with apical periodontitis around maxillary posterior teeth and maxillary sinus mucosal thickening were selected. 3D models of maxillary sinus mucosa and apical lesions were reconstructed from CT, and their volume, mean diameter were calculated. Results: Mean MSM thickening was 8.81 ± 12.59 mm with an average volume of 5092.58 ± 7435.38 mm3. Men had higher MSM thickening than women. Mean diameter of apical lesion was 5.94 ± 2.68 mm; average volume was 200.5 ± 197.29 mm3. Mean distance between MSM and apical lesion was 1.83 ± 2.07 mm. Mucosal volume was the highest in the S1 and D1 configuration and the lowest in R3. Reducing the distance between apical lesion and MSM by each millimetre, the volume of MSM increases by 759.99 mm3. Conclusions: Volumetric CT analysis is a circumstantial method to evaluate the association between maxillary posterior teeth apical periodontitis and MSM thickening. This relationship is not related to the size of the apical lesion but depends on their anatomical position and the distance from the maxillary sinus mucosa.

Abstract
Third molars may be associated with a wide range of pathologic conditions, including mechanical, inflammatory, infectious, cystic, neoplastic, and iatrogenic. Diagnosis of third molar-related conditions can be challenging for radiologists who lack experience in dental imaging. Appropriate imaging evaluation can help practicing radiologists arrive at correct diagnoses, thus improving patient care. This review discusses the imaging findings of various conditions related to third molars, highlighting relevant anatomy and cross-sectional imaging techniques. In addition, key imaging findings of complications of third molar extraction are presented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) on the resolution of maxillary medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included 62 patients diagnosed with MRONJ in the maxillary posterior area with or without maxillary sinusitis (MS). All patients underwent oral surgery. The concomitant MS was evaluated, and if indicated, FESS was performed on the same operation. Follow-up included clinical and radiological examinations at 4 months postoperation. RESULTS Of the 62 patients, 24 (38.7%) showed no evidence of MS and 38 (61.3%) showed MS. Advanced MRONJ (stage 3), which has bony destruction of the sinus floor and signs of MS according to its definition, was seen in 27 patients (43.5%). In stage 3 MRONJ, patients with combined treatment of oral surgery and FESS compared to those treated with oral surgery alone showed higher percentage of resolution (84.2%, 37.5%, respectively) at 4 months postoperatively, and the results were statistically significant. CONCLUSION Simultaneous management of MRONJ and sinusitis with combined treatment of oral surgery and FESS for the treatment of maxillary MRONJ can be an effective method, especially for advanced cases, to address its associated lesions.

Abstract
Dental disease is a frequent finding on head and neck images, especially in the context of emergencies, and can be a challenge for radiologists who are inexperienced with findings of dental trauma or disease. Dental abnormalities can be subtle and therefore must be included in the systematic approach to these images. Although dedicated dental images are not acquired in most emergency cases, the teeth are included on many different images of the head and neck, and their initial evaluation seldom requires a specific protocol. The high prevalence of craniofacial trauma, sinus infection, and maxillomandibular procedures, among other conditions, frequently requires interpretation of dental images in daily emergency practice. The imaging findings can be categorized into infection, trauma, and complications of procedures, although sometimes these categories can overlap. Such categories can help the radiologist decide which imaging protocol and dynamic maneuvers should be used and are also useful when reading images and proposing differential diagnoses. Familiarity with the imaging findings of dental emergencies improves the radiologist's diagnostic confidence and role in guiding patient care, avoiding progression to life-threatening conditions, and reducing aesthetic problems, dental loss, and related conditions. Information about the imaging protocols is provided, the relevant anatomy of the teeth and related structures is reviewed, and the key imaging findings of dental emergencies are presented.©RSNA, 2019.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the change of the Schneider membrane thickness measured by CBCT before and after root canal treatment, retreatment and pulp capping procedures. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted on CBCT scans of a patient population of Guy's Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London. Three groups of patients were studied: Group 1 consisted of patients referred for primary endodontic treatment; Group 2 for endodontic retreatment; Group 3 for indirect pulp capping procedures (serving as a control group). Follow up scans were carried out 1 year after treatment. Measurements were carried out on CBCT scans and data were analysed statistically by Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Linear regression was used to assess predictive parameters for membrane thickness. RESULTS A statistically significant reduction of the Schneider membrane thickness was observed one year after endodontic treatment and retreatment (P < 0.05) but no significant reduction was observed after pulp capping procedures. Linear regression showed that age and gender were significant predictors influencing the Schneider membrane thickness. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this retrospective study, following root canal treatment and re-treatment a Schneiderian membrane thickness reduction occurred at 1-year follow-up. The removal of odontogenic infection following endodontic treatment may help reducing the thickness of the Schneider membrane.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible correlation between adjacent periapical lesions of maxillary teeth and Schneiderian membrane thickness (SMT). Materials and Methods: An analytical study of case-control study design was conducted. From the archives, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 83 patients with periapical lesion in any of the maxillary posterior teeth were randomly selected as the case group. The normal, contralateral teeth in the same patient were considered in the control group. Eighty-eight teeth were considered in each group, comprising a total sample of 176. For each sample in case group, the distance from the border of the periapical lesion to the cortical bone of the bony floor of the maxillary sinus and SMT were measured. SMT on the contralateral side adjacent to the healthy (control) teeth was also measured. Data were presented in mean ± standard deviation and inferential statistics was performed using independent t test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Later Pearson correlation and multiple linear logistic regression were carried out using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software program, version 21.0 at 95% confidence interval. Results: Teeth with periapical lesion were found to have significantly (P < 0.001) increased SMT when compared with that of adjacent to healthy teeth. On the contrary, nonsignificant differences were found in SMT when genders and age groups were compared (P = 0.295 and 0.060, respectively). A strong negative correlation was observed between distance of the lesion to the sinus and SMT (P = 0.003). Conclusion: Neighboring periapical lesions of maxillary teeth are associated with SMT that is worsened when the lesion is close to the sinus.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the possible differences in self-reported symptoms between patients with chronic odontogenic rhinosinusitis (CORS) and patients with chronic non-odontogenic rhinosinusitis (CnORS). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 64 patients diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis according to EPOS guidelines. 32 patients had CORS, and the control group were 32 patients with CnORS. Patients were matched according to gender and age. All the patients underwent a CT scan evaluated by a radiologist, and were evaluated by an oral surgeon and otorhinolaryngologist before being assigned to one of the groups. The severity of the symptoms was assessed through questioners SNOT-22 (sino-nasal outcome test) and VAS (visual analogue scale) symptom score. Kolmogorov-Smirnov's, Fisher's and Mann-Whitney U test were used in the statistical analysis of the data. RESULTS People with CORS show similar symptomatology on SNOT-22 score to patients with CnORS, with no significant statistical difference between any of the SNOT-22 symptoms. VAS symptom score showed that odontogenic group had a significantly higher score for fever (p = .004) and halitosis (p = .003). CONCLUSION Halitosis and fever might be the most important symptoms in differentiating between CORS and CnORS symptomatology. Better diagnostic tools, such as VAS symptom score might help medical professionals to be quicker at recognizing CORS specific symptomatology, and help them treat the disease as early and adequately as possible.

Abstract
Odontogenic etiology accounts for 10-12% of cases of maxillary sinusitis. Although uncommon, direct spread of dental infections into the maxillary sinus is possible due to the close relationship of the maxillary posterior teeth to the maxillary sinus. An odontogenic infection is a polymicrobial aerobic-anaerobic infection, with anaerobes out numbering the aerobes. Diagnosis requires a thorough dental and clinical evaluation, including radiographs. Management of sinus disease of odontogenic origin often requires medical treatment with appropriate antibiotics, surgical drainage when indicated, and treatment to remove the offending dental etiology. A 35-year-old, non-smoking woman visited our clinic, with a history of 6 months of facial pain, purulent nose discharge, and a foul taste in her mouth. The patient was otherwise healthy. Nasal endoscopy showed purulent discharge coming from the left middle meatus with a congested nasal mucosa and with a past history of dental treatments. CT PNS showed fractured free floating and an impacted foreign body through the premolar tooth and a right maxillary polyp with evidence of similar dental procedure done bilaterally. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery with extraction of the affected tooth and closure of oroantral fistula was done. The association between an odontogenic condition and maxillary sinusitis requires a thorough dental examination of patients with sinusitis. Concomitant management of the dental origin and the associated sinusitis will ensure complete resolution of the infection and may prevent recurrences and complications. A combination of a medical and surgical approach is generally required for the treatment of odontogenic sinusitis. An endoscopic shaver-assisted approach to is a reliable, minimally invasive method associated with less morbidity and lower incidence of complications.

Abstract
Background Today, there are several diagnostic methods to determine the exact size and nature of periapical lesions. Furthermore, there are studies that described thickening of the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus (MS) in patients with periapical lesions and demonstrated a causal relation. Aims This study aims to evaluate the morphological variations of the MS floor (MSF) adjacent to chronic periapical lesions in molars and premolars using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods Twenty-five CBCTs with periapical lesions adjacent to maxillary molars and premolars were evaluated. A total of 50 maxillary sinuses were analyzed (12 males and 13 women) taking into account density changes within the sinus cavity. The thickening of the sinus mucosa and the periapical lesions was measured in a caudal-cephalic direction. The axial and sagittal axis was taken as reference on the sagittal and coronal sections. Statistical Analysis Chi-square, Fisher exact, and the Mann-Whitney tests were used in this study. Results A significant association between the size of the periapical lesions (>4 mm) and the presence of MSF affectation was found on sagittal and coronal views (P < 0.001). No significant differences between the presence or absence of periapical lesions and the thickening of the sinus mucosa were found (P = 0.241). The presence of opacification on the MS had no direct associations with the periapical lesions. Conclusions Maxillary sinus floor affectation was associated with chronic periapical lesions >4 mm. The opacification or thickening of the sinus mucosa was not related with the periapical lesions.

Abstract
Purpose The aims of this study were first, to compare panoramic radiography with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for evaluating topographic relationships, such as the classification of maxillary posterior teeth and their distance to the maxillary sinus floor; and second, to determine the relationship between maxillary sinus pathology and the presence of apical lesions. Materials and Methods In total, 285 paired CBCT and panoramic radiography records of patients (570 maxillary sinuses) were retrospectively analyzed. Both imaging modalities were used to determine the topographic relationship of the maxillary posterior teeth to the sinus floor. Mucosal thickening >2 mm was considered a pathological state. Data were analyzed using the chi-square, Wilcoxon, and Mann-Whitney U tests. Odds ratios (ORs) and confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Results The closest vertical distance measurements made between posterior maxillary teeth roots and the maxillary sinus on panoramic radiography and CBCT scans showed statistically significant differences from each other (P<0.05). Compared to panoramic radiography, CBCT showed higher mean values for the distance between the maxillary sinus floor and maxillary posterior teeth roots. The CBCT images showed that at least 1 apical lesion adjacent to the right maxillary sinus increased the risk of maxillary sinus pathology by 2.37 times (OR, 2.37; 95% CI, 1.58-3.55, P<0.05). Conclusion Panoramic radiography might lead to unreliable diagnoses when evaluating the distance between the sinus floor and posterior roots of the maxillary teeth. Periapical lesions anatomically associated with maxillary sinuses were a risk factor for sinus mucosal thickening.

Abstract
After removal of a dental implant or extraction of a tooth in the upper jaw, the closure of an oroantral fistula (OAF) or oroantral communication (OAC) can be a difficult problem confronting the dentist and surgeon working in the oral and maxillofacial region. Oroantral communication (OAC) acts as a pathological pathway for bacteria and can cause infection of the antrum, which further obstructs the healing process as it is an unnatural communication between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus. There are different ways to perform the surgical closure of the OAC. The decision-making in closure of oroantral communication and fistula is influenced by many factors. Consequently, it requires a combination of knowledge, experience, and information gathering. Previous narrative research has focused on assessments and comparisons of various surgical techniques for the closure of OAC/OAF. Thus, the decision-making process has not yet been described comprehensively. The present study aims to illustrate all the factors that have to be considered in the management of OACs and OAFs that determine optimal treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Some anatomic variations may interfere with proper airflow in the maxillary sinus and predispose to maxillary sinus pathologies. It was also reported that as a result of the transport of microorganisms from infected periapical tissues, maxillary sinus pathologies can develop. The objective of this study was to determine the potential relationships of maxillary sinus septa, concha bullosa, nasal septal deviation, and teeth with periapical lesion to maxillary sinus pathologies. METHODS 200 cone beam computed tomography scans obtained at Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Dentistry from 2013 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed for the presence of maxillary sinus septa, concha bullosa, nasal septal deviation, teeth with periapical lesions, and maxillary sinus pathologies. When maxillary sinus mucosal thickening exceeded 2 mm, it was considered as a pathological condition. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for maxillary sinus pathologies. p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. RESULTS 185 (46.2%) of the 400 maxillary sinuses showed maxillary sinus pathologies. Maxillary sinus septa, concha bullosa, and nasal septal deviation were not found to be as a risk factor for the maxillary sinus pathologies (p > 0.05). At least one apical lesion adjacent to the maxillary sinus increased the maxillary sinus pathology by 5.24 times on the right (OR 5.24, p < 0.001) and by 4.67 times on the left side (OR 4.67, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION To prevent maxillary sinus pathologies, it is important for the teeth adjacent to the maxillary sinus to be healthy.

Abstract
Background Maxillary sinusitis of odontogenic origin, also known as maxillary sinusitis of dental origin or odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS), is a common disease in dental, otorhinolaryngologic, allergic, general, and maxillofacial contexts. Despite being a well-known disease entity, many cases are referred to otorhinolaryngologists by both doctors and dentists. Thus, early detection and initial diagnosis often fail to detect its odontogenic origin. Main body We searched recent databases including MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, and the Cochrane Library using keyword combinations of "odontogenic," "odontogenic infection," "dental origin," "tooth origin," "sinusitis," "maxillary sinus," "maxillary sinusitis," "odontogenic maxillary sinusitis," "Caldwell Luc Procedure (CLP)," "rhinosinusitis," "functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)," "modified endoscopy-assisted maxillary sinus surgery (MESS)," and "paranasal sinus." Aside from the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) trial, there have been very few randomized controlled trials examining OMS. We summarized the resulting data based on our diverse clinical experiences. Conclusion To promote the most efficient and accurate management of OMS, this article summarizes the clinical features of rhinosinusitis compared with OMS and the pathogenesis, microbiology, diagnosis, and results of prompt consolidated management of OMS that prevent anticipated complications. The true origin of odontogenic infections is also reviewed.

Zhang Y, Lan F, Li Y, Wang C, Zhang L. Formation of papillary mucosa folds and enhancement of epithelial barrier in odontogenic sinusitis. Int Forum Allergy Rhinol 2019; 9:1281-1288. [PMID: 30620087 DOI: 10.1002/alr.22277] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2018] [Revised: 11/11/2018] [Accepted: 12/11/2018] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Odontogenic sinusitis (OS) presents more satisfactory therapeutic effect after endoscopic surgery compared with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) of other origin. The aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical characteristics, morphological features, and epithelial barrier function of sinus mucosa of OS and discuss the possible relationship with good prognosis. METHODS A total of 25 subjects with OS, 7 CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP), 10 CRS with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), and 9 control subjects were recruited. The biopsy specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for general observation of cytomorphologic features. Epithelial tight junctions (TJs) protein claudin-4 expression was determined to evaluate the epithelial barrier integrity by using immunofluorescence and Image-Pro Plus software analysis. The representative cytokine profiles regarding T helper 1 (Th1) (interferon [IFN]-γ), Th2 (interleukin [IL]-5), and Th17 (IL-17) were examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS Extensively small papillary protrusions could be seen in the maxillary sinus mucosa of OS patients under nasal endoscopy, similar to the morphological behavior, which also presented as papillary folds in the surface of the epithelium. The epithelium in OS kept an increased claudin-4 expression compared with that seen in CRSsNP, CRSwNP, and control subjects. The inflammatory pattern analysis demonstrated that OS belonged to the lymphocyte and plasma cell-dominant cellular phenotypes, whereas IL-17 was dominant compared with IFN-γ as well as IL-5. CONCLUSION The odontogenic infections might induce the formation of papillary mucosa folds and enhance the epithelial TJ barrier function. OS exhibited as lymphocyte and plasma cell-dominant cellular phenotypes and Th17 cytokine profiles.

Environmental temperature and air humidity and prevalence of maxillary sinus retention cysts: possible relationships (preliminary study). Oral Radiol 2018; 35:296-300. [PMID: 30523545 DOI: 10.1007/s11282-018-0362-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2018] [Accepted: 10/25/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of maxillary sinus retention cysts (MSRCs) and to evaluate the effects of mean temperature and mean air humidity on the prevalence of MSRCs in two cities in Turkey. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted in Antalya and Erzurum, two cities with different air humidities and temperatures in Turkey. Panoramic images of patients who visited the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Akdeniz University and Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Ataturk University for diagnostic purposes were evaluated. A total of 4800 panoramic images were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 27.03 ± 6.48 years. The prevalence of MSRCs was analyzed according to sex, mean temperature, and mean air humidity. Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS Among the 4800 panoramic images evaluated, 228 indicated the presence of MSRCs. MSRCs were found significantly more frequently in males than in females. The prevalence was 3% in Antalya and 6.5% in Erzurum, with a total prevalence of 4.8%. While there was a significant correlation between the total amount of cysts and monthly mean air humidity in Erzurum, the correlation effect size was very low. CONCLUSIONS The total prevalence of MSRCs was 4.8%. There were no correlations between the frequency of MSRCs and the mean air humidity or mean temperature.

Abstract
Orthognathic surgery including Le Fort I osteotomy involves changes in the nasal septum and maxillary sinus. This study assesses nasal septum changes after Le Fort I osteotomy using cone beam computed tomography images and evaluates mucosal changes in the maxillary sinus after the surgery.This was a retrospective study of 33 patients who underwent orthognathic surgery including Le Fort I osteotomy. To assess the maxillary sinus, changes in the mucosa of the maxillary sinus were analyzed by volume and geometry. We measured the air cavity per se and mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus using SIMPLANT (Materialise, Belgium) software. And the geometry of the distribution of the mucosa was analyzed using cone beam computed tomography images.The septal angle was decreased after surgery, but not significantly (P > 0.05). The volume reduction of the air cavity per se and the volume increase associated with mucosal thickening were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Mucosal thickening was observed in the posterior-inferior direction.In this study, nasal septum deviation was not statistically significant after Le Fort I osteotomy. Decrease of the air cavity per se, decrease of the total volume of the maxillary sinus, and increase of mucosal thickening were prominent. Furthermore, the mucosal thickening that occurs after surgery appears to be mainly in the posterior lower part of the maxillary sinus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posterior maxillary tooth loss may complicate the implant treatment due to the alterations in alveolar anatomy and maxillary sinus pneumatization. This study aimed to comprehensively examine the anatomical structure of this region from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS The posterior maxilla regions with single tooth loss were analyzed by dividing the variables into 3 subgroups from images of 597 patients chosen from 1160 CBCTs. Variables associated with sinus membrane (SM), sinus dimensions, ostium, septa, sinus neighborhood, alveolar bone height (ABH) and width (RW), posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA), and adjacent roots were evaluated. RESULTS The majority of the patients demonstrated 0 to 5 mm membrane thickness. Irregular SM thickening was lower for female patients. While females showed higher number of narrow sinus, males had higher RW than females. Sinus augmentation classification showed negative correlation with ABH, root-tip sinus floor and edentulous site classification. Posterior septa height was correlated with number of septa and ABH. PSAA diameter and location were also correlated between each other. CONCLUSION The present results define formation of a sinus space with 11 mm coronal and 16 mm apical width after single tooth loss. A flat or semispherical thickening around 4 mm is usual in most cases with 51% possibility of anterior septum existence. A ridge anatomy, around 7.5 mm ABH and 7.2 to 9.3 RW from coronal to apical, complements this anatomy. Further studies are needed to clarify the reasons behind the SM and crestal anatomy variations between genders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the maxillary sinus mucosal thickening and to associate them with odontogenic conditions using cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images. MATERIALS AND METHODS CBCT images of 294 patients (143 female, 151 males; age range 18-78 years) with 588 maxillary sinuses were evaluated retrospectively. The anatomic relationship between maxillary sinuses and teeth was determined and classified. The presence of root canal fillings and the periapical lesions of these teeth was also recorded. Sinus mucosal thickenings were classified as grade 1 (normal) (< 2 mm), grade 2 (moderate) (2-10 mm), and grade 3 (severe) (> 10 mm). Alveolar bone loss was measured on all maxillary premolar/M teeth. RESULTS More than 2-mm mucosal thickening (grade 2 and grade 3) in either one or both maxillary sinuses was found in 172 (58.5%) of the patients. The prevalence of mucosal thickening (> 2 mm) for maxillary sinuses with and without any periapical lesions was 42.1 and 53.6%, respectively (p < 0.05). The prevalence of mucosal thickening increased in patients with periodontal alveolar bone loss (p < 0.05). There was a significant correlation between mucosal thickening with age, gender and missing teeth (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Multiple conditions, including periapical infection, root canal treatment, and close relationship maxillary teeth and sinus, may have a precursor effect on the occurrence of mucosal thickening in the maxillary sinus. Periodontal status and its role as a risk factor in triggering maxillary sinus infections should be also considered by not only dental professionals but also the medical professionals to plan for the treatment of maxillary sinus lesions. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Maxillary sinuses are significantly influenced by various odontogenic conditions, including periodontal bone loss, periapical lesions, and missing teeth, which may result in thickening of the maxillary sinus mucosa.

Abstract
The Valsalva maneuver (VM) involves expiratory effort against a closed mouth and/or glottis in the sitting or supine position with the increased intraoral and intrathoracic pressure raised to 40 mmHg for 15-20 sec after which the pressure is suddenly released and the breathing restored to normal. Complex cardiovascular and other physiologic changes occur during the VM. The VM has been used for diagnostic and therapeutic reasons as well as intraoperatively during specific surgical procedures. Although the VM is usually safe, rare complications have been reported. This review examines the published literature surrounding the VM and explores the physiologic changes that occur during its performance. Attempts have been made to understand its intraoperative uses and complications and how these can be prevented.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the correlation between cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) findings in the maxillary sinus, ear-nose-throat (ENT) symptoms and dental pathologies in asymptomatic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total 81 patients were referred for CBCT and filled a standard ENT visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaire. CBCT images were analyzed for sinus ostium obstruction, Schneiderian membrane thickening, sinus floor turbidity, and the presence of polyps. Dental pathologies were evaluated with the aid of CBCT images, periapical X-rays, and clinical examination. A possible correlation between the CBCT findings and the ENT/dental parameters was examined by applying Student's t test and the chi-squared test. RESULTS Despite being asymptomatic, most of the 81 patients reported ENT symptoms in the questionnaire, thereby indicating that these symptoms were mainly subclinical. A significant correlation was found between the presence of polyps in the sinus and a decrease in smell/taste. Obstruction of the sinus meatus was associated with coughing; turbidity was associated with ear congestion. Thickening of the Schneiderian membrane showed an association with both coughing and ear congestion. The mean number of missing posterior teeth correlated with postnasal drip and nasal congestion. Periapical pathology was associated with nasal discharge/runny nose. CONCLUSION The results emphasize the need to evaluate ENT symptoms when radiographic findings are identified in CBCT.

Abstract
Background. This study was undertaken to
assess the pathological and spatial associations between periapical and periodontal
diseases of the maxillary first molars and thickening of maxillary sinus
mucosa with cone-beam computed tomography.
Methods.
A total
of 132 CBCT images of subjects 20‒60 years of age were evaluated
retrospectively. The patients' sex and age and demographic and pathologic
findings of the maxillary sinus in the first molar area were recorded, graded
and analyzed.
Results.
Approximately
59% of patients were male and 41% were female, with no significant difference
in the thickness of schneiderian membrane between males and females. Based on
the periapical index scoring, the highest frequency was detected in group 1.
Based on the results of ANOVA, there were no significant differences in the
frequencies of endodontic‒periodontal lesions and an increase in schneiderian
membrane thickness. There were significant relationships between periapical
and periodontal infections (P<0.001) and schneiderian membrane thickness.
Furthermore, a significant relationship was detected between the thickness of
the schneiderian membrane and the distance between the sinus floor and the
root apices (P=0.38).
Conclusion.
A
retrospective inspection of CBCT imaging revealed that periapical lesions and
periodontal infections in the posterior area of the maxilla were associated
with thickening of the schneiderian membrane. In addition, there was a significant
relationship between the location of maxillary posterior teeth, i.e. the
thickness of bone from the root apex to the maxillary sinus floor, and
schneiderian membrane thickness.

Abstract
The widespread use of dental implants and reconstructive procedures for their positioning has led to an increase in sinonasal complications of dental disease and treatment (SCDDT). Diagnosis requires accurate dental and rhinological evaluation, including computed tomography (CT). The aim of this study is to investigate a multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of SCDDT by combining endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) and an intraoral approach on the basis of a preliminary classification system already proposed by other authors. Moreover, we analysed the percentage of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis extending to the anterior ethmoidal sinuses and bacteria involved in the pathogenesis of SCDDT. Between January 2012 and August 2015, in our series of 31 patients, 16/31 patients (51.6%) were treated with EES, 3/31 patients (9.7%) with an intraoral approach and 12/31 patients (38.7%) with a combined approach. All patients reported improvement in sinusitis symptoms confirmed by clinical examinations and CT scan. No significant complications were recorded and revision surgery was not required. Finally, the results of this preliminary study suggest that a multidisciplinary approach to SCDDT from diagnosis to therapy allows more precise diagnosis and comprehensive therapy to achieve a rapid recovery and minimise the risk of recurrence.

Abstract
Background Postoperative infection occurs when bone graft material is dislodged into the maxillary sinus cavity and most of the patients are often uncomfortable with the drainage and irrigation procedures to eradicate the infection. In this case report, we share a technique in treating patients with such condition. Material and methods A 47-year-old patient was referred after sinus elevation using the crestal socket osteotome, bone graft, and implant insertion at a local clinic. Clinical and radiographic findings confirmed the diagnosis of right maxillary sinusitis. A surgical and medical treatment regimen was applied. Results By using this technique for irrigation, we were able to achieve successful results, and the patient was satisfied due to less discomfort during the irrigation process. Conclusion This method is a patient-friendly technique for sinus irrigation. It is not only limited to sinus grafted patients, but also maxillary sinusitis patients in any other type of odontogenic infection.

Abstract
Background The aim of our study was to investigate, in 3 dimensions, the maxillary sinus septa as an alternative site for dental implant placement to avoid sinus lift procedures. Material/Methods We selected 100 dentate and 100 edentate patients with the presence of a maxillary sinus septum by reviewing a larger cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) database from the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Cliniques Universitaires Saint Luc in Bruxelles, Belgium. Three-dimensional reconstructions of 200 maxillary sinus septa were performed using Maxilim software. Ten measurements (length, lateral height, and thickness of the middle and medial region of the septum) were performed by 1 observer, 2 times, with an interval of 1 week between measurements. The angle between the septum and the maxillary plane was also measured. Finally, localization and orientation were assessed for each septum. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 intraobserver measurements (p>0.05). Student’s t-test was used to compare means. Middle height was the only measurement for which there was a difference between edentate and dentate patients (p=0.0095, edentate mean < dentate mean). The location of the septa observed in our study groups demonstrated greater prevalence in the posterior region than in the anterior and middle regions. For the spatial orientation of the septum, we found that most septa (81.2% in dentate patients, 53% in edentate patients) were oblique. Conclusions Three-dimensional evaluation of maxillary sinus septa using 3D CBCT imaging showed that the sinus septum could offer an alternative site for implant placement in the maxillary sinus.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the present study, we coined the term 'alveolar dome' and aimed to demonstrate the prevalence of alveolar domes through digital periapical radiographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study examined 800 digital periapical radiographs in regard to the presence of alveolar domes. The periapical radiographs were acquired by a digital system using a photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plate. The χ(2) test, with a significance level of 5%, was used to compare the prevalence of alveolar domes in the maxillary posterior teeth and, considering the same teeth, to verify the difference in the prevalence of dome-shaped phenomena between the roots. RESULTS The prevalence of alveolar domes present in the first pre-molars was statistically lower as compared to the other maxillary posterior teeth (p<0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the prevalence of alveolar domes between the maxillary first and second molars. Considering the maxillary first and second molars, it was observed that the palatal root presented a lower prevalence of alveolar domes when compared to the distobuccal and mesiobuccal roots (p<0.05). CONCLUSION The present study coined the term 'alveolar dome', referring to the anatomical projection of the root into the floor of the maxillary sinus. The maxillary first and second molars presented a greater prevalence of alveolar domes, especially in the buccal roots, followed by the third molars and second pre-molars. Although the periapical radiograph is a two-dimensional method, it can provide dentists with the auxiliary information necessary to identify alveolar domes, thus improving diagnosis, planning, and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the role of sinus pneumatization and residual ridge resorption in maxillary bone loss in 400 computed tomography (CT) scans. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 200 dentate and 200 edentulous patients, both sinuses were analysed using CT scans. The image analysis sequence consisted of manual placement of 24 reference points, followed by automated segmentation and final manual refinement. Finally, a principal components analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 788 sinuses were included into the analysis. The edentulous group (98 female: 67.77 ± 11.28 years, 99 male: 65.22 ± 9.87) was significantly older than the group with teeth (99 female: 46.89 ± 16.77 years, 96 male: 49.74 ± 16.2). Female and male patients did not differ regarding age. The alveolar height differed significantly between the groups (edentulous: 7.1 ± 4.3 mm, with teeth: 9.7 ± 4.1 mm), but not between gender (female: 8.3 ± 4.4 mm, male: 8.5 ± 4.4 mm). Principal components analysis was able to explain 90% of the variation in sinus morphology. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged edentulism in the maxillary molar region leads to centripetal and to minor degrees centrifugal ridge resorption. Minor pneumatization occurs in the sinus walls, but the sinus depth underlies the anatomical variation independent of dentition.

Abstract
The Valsalva manoeuvre (VM), a forced expiratory effort against a closed airway, has a wide range of applications in several medical disciplines, including diagnosing heart problems or autonomic nervous system deficiencies. The changes of the intrathoracic and intra-abdominal pressure associated with the manoeuvre result in a complex cardiovascular response with a concomitant action of several regulatory mechanisms. As the main aim of the reflex mechanisms is to control the arterial blood pressure (BP), their action is based primarily on signals from baroreceptors, although they also reflect the activity of pulmonary stretch receptors and, to a lower degree, chemoreceptors, with different mechanisms acting either in synergism or in antagonism depending on the phase of the manoeuvre. A variety of abnormal responses to the VM can be seen in patients with different conditions. Based on the arterial BP and heart rate changes during and after the manoeuvre several dysfunctions can be hence diagnosed or confirmed. The nature of the cardiovascular response to the manoeuvre depends, however, not only on the shape of the cardiovascular system and the autonomic function of the given patient, but also on a number of technical factors related to the execution of the manoeuvre including the duration and level of strain, the body position or breathing pattern. This review of the literature provides a comprehensive analysis of the physiology and pathophysiology of the VM and an overview of its applications. A number of clinical examples of normal and abnormal haemodynamic response to the manoeuvre have been also provided.

Abstract
Odontogenic sinusitis is a well-recognized condition and accounts for approximately 10% to 12% of cases of maxillary sinusitis. An odontogenic source should be considered in individuals with symptoms of maxillary sinusitis with a history of odontogenic infection, dentoalveolar surgery, periodontal surgery, or in those resistant to conventional sinusitis therapy. Diagnosis usually requires a thorough dental and clinical evaluation including appropriate radiographs. The most common causes of odontogenic sinusitis include dental abscesses and periodontal disease that had perforated the Schneidarian membrane, irritation and secondary infection caused by intra-antral foreign bodies, and sinus perforations during tooth extraction. An odontogenic infection is a polymicrobial aerobic-anaerobic infection, with anaerobes outnumbering the aerobes. The most common isolates include anaerobic streptococci and gram-negative bacilli, and Enterobacteriaceae. Surgical and dental treatment of the odontogenic pathological conditions combined with medical therapy is indicated. When present, an odontogenic foreign body should be surgical removed. Surgical management of oroantral communication is indicated to reduce the likelihood of causing chronic sinus disease. The management of odontogenic sinusitis includes a 3- to 4-week course of antimicrobials effective against the oral flora pathogens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Odontogenic sinusitis and sinonasal complications of dental disease or treatment (SCDDT) play a relevant, often underappreciated role in paranasal sinus infections. Treating SCDDT patients requires tailored medical and surgical approaches in order to achieve acceptable success rates. These approaches differ from common rhinogenic sinusitis treatment protocols mostly because of the different etiopathogenesis. Our study comprehensively evaluated microbiology and antibiotic resistance in SCDDT patients and compared findings with a control group of patients affected by rhinogenic sinusitis. METHODS We performed microbiological sampling during surgery on 28 patients with SCDDT and 16 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Colonies were isolated, Gram-stained, and the species identified using classic biochemical methods. These results were confirmed by DNA pyrosequencing, and then the resistance profile of each SCDDT isolate to various antibiotics was tested. RESULTS Microbial growth was observed in all SCDDT patients, whereas samples from 60% of patients in the control group failed to yield any bacterial growth (p < 0.001). Anaerobes grew in 14% of SCDDT patients as compared to 7% of CRSwNP patients (p = 0.42). Of the isolates from SCDDT patients, 70% were susceptible to amoxicillin/clavulanate, whereas all isolates were susceptible to levofloxacin, teicoplanin, and vancomycin. Of the staphylococci identified, 80% were capable of producing beta-lactamase. CONCLUSION Given the extent of microbiological contamination within the maxillary sinus of SCDDT patients, these infections should be regarded as a different class of conditions from rhinogenic sinusitis. Our findings support the need for different approaches in the treatment of SCDDT patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to simulate implant placement in the maxillary sinus septum, as a potential alternative site to avoid sinus grafting. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred partially or completely edentulous patients, with their maxillary sinus septum present in the edentulous region, were selected from the database of the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Cliniques Universitaires Saint Luc, Bruxelles, Belgium. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions were created using 3D planning software. 3D reconstructions were performed for each maxillary sinus. Using the software implant library, the implants that presented the best fit with the maxillary sinus septum and that followed the established inclusion criteria were selected. RESULTS All of the implants were inserted in premolar and molar regions. Most implants were inserted in the position of the second molar (21 of 55) or in the position of the first molar (17 of 55). In all sites the most frequently used implant was 4 mm in diameter and 7 mm in height. The mean coronal angle for the implant was 80.19±17.13 degrees and the mean sagittal angle was 94.83±9.94 degrees. The septal height represents 38.13% of the total available bone height (ABH). The mean percentage of the septum used to insert the implants was 47.33±2.47%. The septum increased the available bone height by a mean value of 2.18±1.47 mm. In 45 cases, the septa did not permit implant placement. CONCLUSIONS In completely edentulous patients, inserting implants in sinus septa does not exclude the need for sinus grafting, but in partially edentulous patients, this minimally invasive technique is an alternative to subantral augmentation.

Abstract
Background This study assessed the relationship between mucosal thickness (MT) of the maxillary sinus and periodontal bone loss (PBL) and periapical condition of related teeth. We also aimed to identify the association between root apices and the inferior wall of the maxillary sinus using Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and Methods In this study, CBCT images of 205 patients with 410 maxillary sinuses were examined, retrospectively. A total of 582 maxillary molars and 587 premolars were observed. The relationship of each root with maxillary sinus and apical lesions of these roots were classified, PBL was examined and the situations of adjacent teeth were estimated. The effect of these conditions on sinus mucosal thickness (MT) was evaluated. Results There was a significant correlation between MT of maxillary sinus and both PBL and age (r = 0.52, p=0.000 and r = 0.111, p= 0.002, respectively). The frequency of MT increased as the severity of apical lesion enlarged. A positive correlation was found between MT and degree of PBL and periapical lesions. To reveal the association between MT and pulpoperiapical condition bivariate correlation was done and a significant relationship between the pulpoperiapical condition and MT was found (r = 0.17, p=0.000). Conclusions This retrospective study showed that MT of the maxillary sinus was common among patients with PBL and MT was significantly associated with PBL and apical lesions. The relationship of maxillary sinus to adjacent teeth had also positive correlation with MT. CBCT imaging enabled better evaluation of maxillary sinus, posterior teeth and surrounding structures compared to other imaging tools. Key words:Maxillary sinus mucosal thickness, apical periodontitis, periodontal bone loss, CBCT.

Abstract
The role of odontogenic infection as an etiology for lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis in dogs was evaluated. An association between odontogenic infection and inflammatory rhinitis was identified in 55% of cases evaluated. Odontogenic infection was unlikely or undetermined in 10% and 35% of the cases, respectively. Cases of lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis had roentgen signs associated with endodontic disease, periodontal disease, or retained tooth roots in 60%, 45%, and 25% of the cases, respectively. A collaborative team based approach assessing inflammatory nasal disease is recommended. Based on the history and signalment of the individual patient, diagnostic modalities should be chosen wisely. In some cases, oral examination and intraoral radiographs may be a more direct and cost effective approach for diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory rhinitis.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate whether a specific interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-4 (IRAK4) gene polymorphism had any influence on the development of changes in maxillary sinus, particularly in the presence of etiological factors of dental origin. Materials and methods The study population included 153 Portuguese Caucasians that were selected from a database of 504 retrospectively analysed computed tomography (CT) scans. A genetic test was performed, and a model was created through logistic analysis and regression coefficients. The statistical methodologies included were the independent Chi test, Fisher’s exact test, binary logistic regression and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The estimated prevalence of IRAK4 gene polymorphism found in a Portuguese Caucasian population was 26.8 % (CI 95 %) [20.1, 34.7 %]. A model to predict the inflammatory response in the maxillary sinus in the presence etiological factors of dental origin was constructed. This model had the following as variables: previously diagnosed sinusitis, sinus pressure symptoms, cortical bone loss observed on CT, positive genetic test result and radiographic examination that revealed the roots of the teeth communication with the maxillary sinus, which are interpreted as risk factors. Conclusions The constructed model should be considered an initial clinical tool. The area under the ROC curve found, AUC = 0.91, revealed that the model correctly predicts the outcome in 91.1 % of cases. Clinical relevance The clinical relevance of this study lies in trying to achieve a potential tool (a model) that may assist the clinician in the implementation of suitable dental treatment plans in complex cases, with probable involvement of the maxillary sinus.

Abstract
Methamphetamines are the second most commonly used illicit drug worldwide and cost the United States health-care system ∼$23.4 billion annually. Use of this drug affects multiple organ systems and causes a variety of clinical manifestations. Although there are commonly known sequelae of methamphetamine abuse such as "meth mouth," there is limited evidence regarding maxillary sinus manifestations. The following cases highlight the initial evaluation and management of two methamphetamine abusers with loculated purulent collections within the maxillary sinus as a result of methamphetamine abuse. Our aim was to delineate the otolaryngologic symptoms associated with the patients' methamphetamine abuse. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies revealed loculated purulent collections within the maxillary sinus of probable odontogenic origin in both patients. Methamphetamine abuse leading to rampant caries and poor oral hygiene may predispose individuals for craniofacial infections and fluid collections. These cases illustrate the development of maxillary sinusitis and maxilla mucoceles that have been associated with methamphetamine use.
