Meta-analysis of the etiology of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis

Abstract

Objective: To identify and evaluate the frequency of the different odontogenic conditions that may lead to maxillary sinusitis. Study design: An observational and retrospective meta-analysis was carried out on 770 cases of maxillary sinusitis obtained from a literature review of 15 articles. Results: Maxillary sinusitis most commonly manifests itself as chronic maxillary sinusitis. It is more common in females and is most often diagnosed in the fifth decade of life. The teeth most predominantly affected are the molars, with the first molar tooth being the most frequently involved. The principal etiological factor is extraction.

Surgical Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis after Sinus lift

“…[13][14][15] CRS is less common in this setting, with an estimated prevalence of 3-5%. 8,[16][17][18] Several recent publications describe the common presenting symptoms and treatment of odontogenic sinusitis. Overall, these symptoms are similar to those seen in our study population of patients with sinus-lift-associated CRS.…”

Chronic odontogenic paranasal sinusitis in the material provided by the Otorhinolaryngology Unit of the 4th Military Teaching Hospital in Wroclaw

“…19 Etiological meta-analysis developed by Arias-Irimia et al, performed on 770 patients with odontogenic paranasal sinusitis, described in 41 articles written between 1986 and 2007, showed that women constitute 57.7% of all patients suffering from odontogenic paranasal sinusitis. 20 55.97% of patients presented odontogenic changes of an iatrogenic profile. Periodontal disease was detected in 40.38% of the patients, while 6.66% of the patients exhibited odontogenic cysts.…”

The Relationship between Dental Indentation and Maxillary Sinusitis

“…If not recognized, the treatment of sinus disease will fail and cause prolonged medical therapy or unnecessary surgery [1,4].…”

“…Sinusitis is a multifactorial disease characterized by the inflammation of paranasal sinus mucosa due to viral, bacterial or fungal infections of upper respiratory tract [1]. The maxillary sinuses are located between the nasal, oral and orbital cavities and are therefore most susceptible of all sinuses for the invasion of pathogenic bacteria through the nasal ostium or the oral cavity.…”
