Objective evaluation of acute maxillary sinusitis treatment is crucial. Roentgenological examination complements clinical assessment, revealing minimal differences in outcomes between various treatment modes like drainage and antibiotics.

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Radiology
Pharmacology

Background:

Acute maxillary sinusitis requires effective treatment evaluation.
Clinical examination alone may not fully assess treatment outcomes.
Objective diagnostic tools are needed to complement clinical assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the therapeutic effects of 27 different treatment modes for acute maxillary sinusitis.
To evaluate the utility of roentgenological examination in assessing treatment outcomes.
To identify factors influencing treatment choice beyond therapeutic efficacy.

Main Methods:

A study involving 1320 cases of acute maxillary sinusitis (2039 maxillary sinuses).
Comparison of 27 different treatment modes, including antral drainage, antibiotics, and combinations.

Utilized occipito-mental projection and an additional occipito-mental side view for radiological assessment.

Main Results:

Little difference was observed in therapeutic effects among the various treatment groups.
Roentgenological examination proved to be a cheap, simple, and objective method for diagnosis and follow-up.
Radiological sinus changes effectively monitored treatment progress.

Conclusions:

Treatment choice for acute maxillary sinusitis should consider factors beyond therapeutic effect, such as pharmacokinetics, administration, dosage, cost, and side effects.
Roentgenological examination is a valuable adjunct to clinical assessment for objective evaluation and monitoring.
The efficacy of different treatment modalities for acute maxillary sinusitis shows minimal variation.
