Chronic focal sclerosing osteomyelitis accompanied with bony mass protrusion into the maxillary sinus: a case report

Condensing osteitis in the diagnosis consultation at Egas Moniz University Clinic

“…Class IV was not found in women and it was the least found in men (2,5%). Discussion/Conclusion: Most of the edentulous arches are in the mandible (87 %), as concluded by several authors [2,3,5,6]. The most prevalent of edentulous class was Kennedy's class III (31%) and the lowest class IV (1,5%) [2,6].…”

“…Introduction: Condensing Osteitis or Focal Sclerosing Osteomyelitis Condensing is characterized by the formation of periapical sclerotic bone; it consists on a focalized osseous reaction leading to bone growth resulting from inflammatory stimuli or local low intensity trauma [1][2][3]. Although described as a result of periapical of pulp inflammation and /or infection [3], it's also observable in vital teeth as a consequence of occlusal trauma [1,2,4] and, thus, aetiologically not associated with pulp aggression, which may lead to misdiagnosis [5]. Clinically, in most cases, there is absent or mild pain, no lymphadenopathy and no cortical expansion [6].…”

“…The most prevalent of edentulous class was Kennedy's class III (31%) and the lowest class IV (1,5%) [2,6]. Similarly, to Carneiro in 2013 [1], Forjaz in 2016 [5] and Souza in 2015 in a Brazilian population [3] patients had an average age of 59 and 68 % were women.…”

“…Lesions affecting the paranasal sinuses may occur secondary to other conditions, such as osteopetrosis or Paget's disease (Seow, 1991;Labajian et al, 2013); they may be formed as a response to bacterial infection (e.g. osteomyelitis) (Yoshino et al, 2011), or associated with either malignant (e.g., osteosarcoma) or benign (e.g. osteoma, osteoblastoma, ossifying fibroma) neoplasms (Fu and Perzin, 1976;Jaswal et al, 2007;Ortiz and Lin, 2012).…”
