[Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis caused by dental restoration]

|August 9, 2014
Summary
Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis can occur after dental restoration, even with intact pulp. Dentinal tubule infection may cause this condition, requiring endoscopic sinus surgery in severe cases.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Otolaryngology
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is a common condition often linked to dental procedures.
- This study investigates OMS specifically caused by dental restorations, even when the tooth's pulp remains intact.
Observation:
- Five patients presented with OMS following dental restoration procedures like cavity preparation or inlay restoration.
- Apical lesions were identified as the likely cause, suggesting infection spread through dentinal tubules.
Findings:
- Infection via dentinal tubules is proposed as the primary pathophysiological mechanism for OMS post-restoration.
- Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) proved effective for diagnosing OMS related to dental work.
Implications:
- Physicians and dentists should consider dental restorations as a potential cause of OMS.
- Endoscopic sinus surgery may be necessary for managing intractable cases of OMS linked to dental restorations.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Tonsillitis is inflammation of the tonsils, which are two lymphoid tissue masses at the back of the throat. This condition can cause discomfort and irritation in the throat.

01:23Chronic Pharyngitis
16.6K
Chronic pharyngitis refers to persistent inflammation of the pharyngial mucosa.
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...
