Influence of Caldwell-Luc operation on developing permanent teeth

M Paavolainen, R Paavolainen, J Tarkkanen

    The Laryngoscope

    Summary

    The Caldwell-Luc operation, a sinus surgery, rarely causes serious dental issues in children. Properly performed, it poses minimal risk to permanent teeth, even with chronic sinobronchitis.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pediatric Dentistry

    Background:

    • The Caldwell-Luc operation is a surgical approach to the maxillary sinus.
    • Potential dental complications in pediatric patients undergoing this procedure require investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the influence of the Caldwell-Luc operation on the permanent teeth of school children.
    • To assess the incidence of dental complications following this surgical intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 21 children (ages 6-14) who underwent 30 Caldwell-Luc operations.
    • Comparison with a control group of 27 healthy school children.
    • Assessment of dental anesthesia, hypesthesia, and caries post-operation.

    Main Results:

    • Five teeth on the operated side and one on the non-operated side experienced anesthesia.
    • Slight hypesthesia was noted in some teeth, primarily first incisors, due to nerve lesions.
    • No tooth death or increased caries incidence was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Correctly performed Caldwell-Luc operations do not typically cause serious dental injuries in school children.
    • The procedure is indicated for chronic sinobronchitis when conservative treatments fail, with minimal dental risk.
