Summary

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a less invasive alternative to the Caldwell-Luc technique for treating odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. FESS offers faster recovery and preserves sinus function, making it the preferred surgical strategy.

Area of Science:

  • Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Dental Implantology

Background:

  • Oral surgery, particularly involving the superior alveolar ridge, can lead to complications like oroantral fistula or maxillary sinus displacement of teeth/implants.
  • These complications can result in odontogenic maxillary sinusitis, potentially progressing to severe orbital or cerebral infections if untreated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare surgical techniques for treating complications arising from oral surgery within the maxillary sinus.
  • To determine the optimal surgical strategy for managing these conditions.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 55 patients with displaced oral implants, oroantral communication, or odontogenic maxillary sinusitis were treated between 2005 and 2010.
  • Surgical interventions included functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), the Caldwell-Luc technique, and oroantral fistula closure, with or without FESS.

Main Results:

  • The study included 55 patients (28 female, 27 male; mean age 60 years) with histories of implant surgery, extractions, root canal treatments, or sinus augmentations.
  • All patients presented with complications requiring surgical intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is increasingly replacing the Caldwell-Luc technique for odontogenic maxillary sinusitis.
  • FESS offers advantages including minimal invasiveness, preservation of sinus anatomy and physiology, reduced recovery time, and effective oral rehabilitation.
