In order to determine the risk factors of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis, a total number of 40 patients with this pathological condition was examined in three-year period. Oroantral communication was detected in 40% of patients, oroantral fistula in 25%, sinus foreign bodies in 15% and other pathological conditions in 10% of cases. The extraction of the upper lateral teeth was the cause of odontogenic sinusitis in 65% patients. Given the specific tooth, the first upper molar was the most common cause of the condition, i.e. in 40% of cases. It may be concluded that odontogenic sinusitis is the complication of the oral cavity surgery in 85% of patients, what should be taken into consideration in prevention.

A comunicação bucosinusal trata-se da comunicação não natural da cavidade bucal com o seio maxilar, estando muitas vezes relacionada a extração dos dentes superiores posteriores. A literatura apresenta diversas opções de tratamento para esses casos, entre eles o fechamento com o retalho pediculado com o corpo adiposo bucal. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar um caso de fístula bucosinusal em paciente diabético, discutindo alternativas cirúrgicas correlacionadas com problema sistêmico do paciente e características locais do defeito. Paciente do sexo masculino, 55 anos de idade, com histórico de dez dias de exodontia do elemento 27, com queixa de passagem de ar ao meio bucal através do sítio cirúrgico. Com base nos exames, o diagnóstico definitivo foi de comunicação bucosinusal, sendo estipulado o tratamento cirúrgico para o fechamento da comunicação através de duas camadas com o corpo adiposo da bochecha seguido do retalho vestibular. No acompanhamento de 8 meses e meio o paciente não apresenta queixas e pode-se observar o fechamento completo da comunicação bucosinusal. O retalho pediculado do corpo adiposo bucal seguido do retalho vestibular mostrou-se efetivo no tratamento da fístula bucosinusal em paciente diabético controlado.Descritores: Fístula Bucoantral; Cirurgia Bucal; Diabetes Mellitus.ReferênciasLozano-Carrascal N, Salomó-Coll O, Gehrke SA, Calvo-Guirado JL, Hernández-Alfaro F, Gargallo-Albiol J.

Introduction Maxillary sinus disease is common and numerous disorders can affect this anatomical area. Abnormalities can be classified as: non-neoplastic, neoplastic benign, and neoplastic malignant. Objective Evaluate through CT the prevalence of diseases in maxillary sinuses, using the Radiology Department's database of a hospital in São Paulo city. Methods The sample consisted of 762 facial CT scans that we divided into three groups: Group A (12–19 years old); Group B (20–49 years old); Group C (above 50 years old); and male or female. We considered the following pathological processes: I - Mucoperiosteal Thickening; II - Chronic Sinusitis; III - Chronic Odontogenic Sinusitis; IV - Rhinosinusitis; V - Polypoid Lesions; VI - Bone Lesions; VII - Neoplasms; VIII - Antrolith; IX - Foreign Bodies; X - Oroantral Fistula. Results Our study found that 305 exams (40.02%) were normal and 457 exams (59.97%) were abnormal. We found the following disease frequencies: focal mucoperiosteal thickening (21.25%); polypoid lesions (10.76%); chronic sinusitis (7.48%); chronic odontogenic sinusitis (2.29%); neoplasms (2.03%); rhinosinusitis (1.77%); bone lesions, foreign bodies and oroantral fistula in 0.65%; 0.13% and 0.06% respectively. There was no significant difference between male and female, and Groups A, B, or C when relating the frequencies of abnormalities found. There was no significant difference between male and female and the age group for the side of the altered maxillary sinus. Conclusion We observed a high prevalence of sinus maxillary diseases. Mucoperiosteal thickening; acute, chronic, and odontogenic sinusitis; polypoid lesions and neoplasms have high prevalence in maxillary sinuses. Thus, facial CT exam was effective for the evaluation of diseases in maxillary sinuses.

Foreign bodies in the nasal cavity are rarely seen in adults, and most cases are traumatic in origin. Multiple foreign bodies in adults are particularly rare. Foreign bodies induce pain, bleeding, and infection but are easily removed in most cases. A patient presented with multiple toothpick foreign bodies in the nasal cavity, which were introduced intentionally through an oroantral fistula. We report an adult case with 37 toothpicks in the nasal cavity, which were removed successfully with a nasal endoscope. Oroantral fistula closure was achieved through oral surgery. Voluntary insertion of foreign bodies into the body by patients with mental illnesses is relatively difficult to identify. Evaluating and managing the psychiatric problems of such patients during treatment planning are necessary.

ResumoA fístula ou comunicação bucossinusal consiste na formação de um trajeto direto entre a cavidade oral e o seio maxilar diagnosticada tardiamente após epitelização da mucosa formando um canal bucossinusal permanente. Na maioria das vezes, essa complicação ocorre em função da relação anatômica do seio maxilar intimamente relacionado com o ápice das raízes dos dentes superiores posteriores. Procedimentos cirúrgicos inadequados relacionados à exodontia dos elementos dentários envolvidos ou extensa pneumatização do seio maxilar podem ser as causas mais comuns dessa patologia. O objetivo do presente trabalho é apresentar um relato de caso clínico de uma fístula bucossinusal pós exodontia e não corrigida imediatamente, tratada através de retalho mucoso palatino vascularizado e rotacionado para fechamento primário. A técnica do retalho palatino mostrou-se uma opção favorável para o fechamento do defeito sinusal em um único tempo cirúrgico, preservando a mucosa queratinizada e a anatomia do sulco vestibular.Palavras-chave: Seio maxilar, sinusite maxilar, fístula bucoantral, cirurgia bucal.AbstractThe bucosinusal fistula or communication consists in the formation of a direct path between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus diagnosed late after epithelialization of the mucosa forming a permanent bucosinusal canal. Most often, this complication occurs due to the anatomical relationship of the maxillary sinus closely related to the apex of the roots of the posterior superior teeth. Inadequate surgical procedures related to the extraction of the involved dental elements or extensive pneumatization of the maxillary sinus may be the most common causes of this pathology. The aim of the present study is to present a case report of an immediately uncorrected post-extraction bucosinusal fistula treated with a vascularized palatine mucous flap and rotated for primary closure. The palatal flap technique proved to be a favorable option for closing the sinus defect in a single surgical time, preserving the keratinized mucosa and the buccal sulcus anatomy.Key-words: Maxillary sinus, maxillary sinusitis, oroantral fistula, oral surgery.

The physiological behavior of paranasal sinuses depends on the potency of the ostiomeatal complex and on normal mucociliary function. The interruption of this delicate equilibrium can lead to pathological conditions such as sinusitis. Anywhere between 10% and over 25% of cases of maxillary sinusitis have an odontogenic origin, such as: dental infection; alveolar dental trauma; or iatrogenic causes, such as extractions, endodontic therapies, maxillary osteotomies or placement of endosseous implants. The resolution of sinus pathology is related to the resolution of odontogenic pathology. Aim: to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a combined oral and endoscopic approach in the treatment of chronic odontogenic sinusitis vs. oral dental management through a case control study. Materials and Methods: all patients showing signs and symptoms of odontogenic sinusitis with obliteration (appreciable radiopacity in CT) of unilateral maxillary sinus between January 2018 and September 2019 at Padua University Hospital were enrolled in this retrospective study. The exclusion criteria were: maxillary sinusitis without odontogenic origin, or resolution with a systemic antibiotic therapy; and presence of anatomical abnormalities that promote the onset of rhinosinusitis. The patients were divided into two groups: one group was treated with a combined surgical approach under general anesthesia (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery-FESS and simultaneous closure of oroantral communication with Bichat’s fat pad advancement); while the other group was treated only with an intraoral approach under local anesthesia and conscious sedation (closure of oroantral communication with Bichat’s fat pad advancement). The variable “success of the surgical procedure” in the two groups was compared by a Student test (with p < 0.05). Results: among the patients enrolled, 10 patients (aged between 42 and 70) made up the case group and the other 10 patients (aged between 51 and 74) constituted the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in success between the two groups (p < 0.025). Conclusions: according to this case study, an exclusive annotation invasive intraoral approach seemed to be comparable to the transoral endoscopic combined method. However, during diagnosis it is necessary and fundamental to distinguish between odontogenic and rhinogenic sinusitis in order for the resolution of odontogenic sinusitis to be achieved.

Foreign bodies in maxillary sinuses are unusual clinical conditions, and they can cause chronic sinusitis by mucosal irritation. Most cases of foreign bodies in maxillary sinus are related to iatrogenic dental manipulation and only a few cases with non-dental origin are reported. Oroantral fistulas secondary to dental procedures are the most common way of insertion. Treatment is surgical removal of the foreign body either endoscopically or with a combined approach, with Caldwell-Luc procedure if endoscopic approach is inadequate for visualisation. In this case, we present a 24-year-old male patient with unilateral chronic maxillary sinusitis due to a wooden toothpick in left maxillary sinus. The patient had a history of upper second premolar tooth extraction. CT scan revealed sinus opacification with presence of a foreign body in left maxillary sinus extending from the floor of the sinus to the orbital base. The foreign body, a wooden toothpick, was removed with Caldwell-Luc procedure since it was impossible to remove the toothpick endoscopically. There was no obvious oroantral fistula in the time of surgery, but the position of the toothpick made us to think that it was inserted through a previously healed fistula, willingly or accidentally.

AbstractAim:To present the current treatment approach for oroantral fistula causing maxillary sinusitis.Design:Case series. Four cases of oroantral fistula (diameters: 6, 9, 11 and 13 mm) due to chronic maxillary sinusitis were treated by excision of all diseased oroantral fistula tissue, followed by endoscopic creation of a large middle antrostomy and closure of the fistula using buccal flaps. A synthetic surgical glue and local alveolar bone were used.Results:Patients were followed up for six months to three years; all were considered cured.Conclusion:Most surgeons use buccal or palatal flaps, combined with the Caldwell–Luc procedure, to treat chronic odontogenic sinusitis and to repair fistulae more than 5 mm in diameter. This study supports the hypothesis that an endoscopic technique could be successfully used in patients with oroantral fistula causing chronic maxillary sinusitis of dental origin, instead of the Caldwell–Luc procedure, at least in patients with a small to medium-sized oroantral fistula.

Introduction: Teeth displacement in the maxillary sinus is one of the most frequently described peri-extraction complications in oral surgery. Roots or whole teeth accidentally displaced during an avulsion process are the most common cause of foreign bodies in the maxillary sinus. It exposes the patient to more or less serious complications that can go as far as development of pneumonia or septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinus in rare cases. Several therapeutic solutions can be proposed to manage this complication, ranging from therapeutic abstention to the removal of the dental component using various techniques. Corpus: The pedagogical objectives of this article are to explain the main characteristics of this complication as well as its treatment. Through a systematic review of the literature according to the PRISMA methodology, the risk factors, prevention, diagnosis, complications, and management of teeth displacement will be discussed. A treatment decision tree will be proposed to guide practitioners in the management of a tooth or dental root displaced into the sinus. Conclusion: This article summarizes the importance of pre-extraction radiographic examinations for preventive purposes and their analysis to guide the practitioner in the choice of an appropriate surgical technique. Furthermore, the surgical management in almost all cases must be carried out early to prevent later infectious complications.
