Maxillary rhinosinusitis of odontogenic origin: A case series

Tulio Bonna Pignaton¹, Rubens Spin-Neto², Guilherme José Pimentel Lopes de Oliveira³, Carlos Eduardo de Almeida Ferreira¹

Summary

The present study presents a series of cases of maxillary rhinosinusitis related to dental infection and threated exclusively with the extraction of the compromised teeth. Eight patients were selected from a private practice dental institute presenting a violated Schneiderian membrane due to odontogenic infections, as confirmed by a Cone Beam computed tomography (CBCT) that was performed in all cases for diagnosis. The origin of these infection was due to endodontic of periodontal lesions, and the pulpar vitality tests and periodontal probing were executed in order to confirm that the source of the maxillary rhinosinusitis was due to the odontogenic infections. All the cases of maxillary rhinosinusitis were resolved after the tooth extraction, since the dental implants placement were indicated in all the cases. It is possible to conclude the importance of the diagnosis of infectious lesions of odontogenic origin for the differential diagnosis of rhinosinusitis to determine the treatment appropriated for the resolution of this illness.

Key words: dental implants, maxillary rhinosinusitis, odontogenic infection, sinus lift procedure.
