Paolo Gamba, Carlo Lombardi, Giovanni Passalacqua

Abstract :

Odontogenic rhinosinusitis is a relevant infectious condition of the paranasal sinuses. The purpose of this paper is the anatomical relationship between the dental region and the maxillary antrum, ethmoidal sinus and frontal sinus. The widespread use of dental implants and reconstructive procedures for their positioning has led to an increase in Sinonasal Complications of Dental Disease and Treatment (SCDDT. Overall patients were included in the study, they have been classified as odontogenic disease affecting the paranasal sinuses and integrated into a study group based on the pathogenesis and clinical aspects of each case, allergy evaluation including Patch test dental testing nasal endoscopy and Cone–Beam computed tomography with the aim of identifying homogenous treatment groups. Management of odontogenic sinusitis needs to be tailored to each individual patient and involves varying combinations of medical management, allergist, dental surgery, and ENT surgeon.
