Literature Review
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Sinusitis is a common disease
Inflammation of paranasal sinus mucosa
due to bacterial, viral and fungal infections
Dentogenous sinusitis
Radiographic, microbiological, and/or clinical
evidence of dental origin
infection of the upper molars (premolars and
molars)
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
•Incidence still very high
•2003: Paranasal sinus disease
ranked 25th out of 50 major
disease or about 102,817
outpatients in hospital.
LITERATURE REVIEW
ANATOMY
Anatomy of the Nasal Cavity
Anatomy of the Nasal Cavity
The nasal cavity is an irregular space between
the palate of the oral cavity and the base of the
skull
Three conchae in the lateral wall of the nasal
cavity namely: superior, middle, and inferior
concha
Anatomy of the Nasal Cavity
•These three nasal conchae form 4 slits for
the passage of air
•Sphenoethmoidalrecess
•Superior nasal meatus
•Medius nasal meatus
•Inferior nasal meatus
Anatomy of Paranasal Sinuses
Anatomy of Paranasal Sinuses
Maxillary sinuses: the largest of the paranasal sinuses
•Canine fossaAnterior wall
•Infratemporal surface of the maxillaPosterior wall
•Lateral wall of the nasal cavityMedial wall
•Floor of the orbit Superior wall
•Alveolar process and palateInferior wall
Anatomy of Paranasal Sinuses
•Drain into the
middle meatus
through the
maxillary ostium
through the
hiatus
semilunaris
Maxillary Sinus EmbriologyAnd Development
The embryo’s head develops into a structure
with two distinct nasal cavities
The embryo’s head develops into a structure

The lateral nasal walls then invaginateto create
complex folds, known as turbinate and spaces,
known as sinuses

Maxillary Sinus EmbriologyAnd Development
The maxillary sinus begins t o form in a 3-month-old
fetus as a result of pneumatization of the maxillary
bone.
The paranasal sinuses are immature at birth and
mature with age
The maxillary sinus grows at a rate of 2-3 mm per
year
Maxillary Sinus Histology
Maxillary Sinus Histology
Walls of the maxillary sinus covered by a mucous
membrane, consists of
•epithelium (lamina epithelium), a basement
membrane, and subepithelial connective tissue
(lamina propria)
The epithelium is ciliated pseudostratified columnar
epithelium.
Maxillary Sinus Function
Lightening the
skull
A vocal resonating
box
Humidify of the
inspired air
Increased
olfaction
Increase faciocranial
resistance through
mechanical trauma
MAXILLARY SINUSITIS OF ODONTOGENIC ORIGIN
DEFINITION:
•Inflammation of the nasal mucosa and maxillary
sinus caused by the spread of dental infection
Acute
< 12 weeks
Chronic
≥ 12 weeks
EPIDEMIOLOGY
10% of all cases of sinusitis originate from the odontogenic
process
United States : 14.1% of the adult population
•10-15% of all cases originate from odontogenic
Most often occurs in the 40-60 year age group with a slight
female predominance
EPIDEMIOLOGY
Rhinology
Division of
the RSCM
•January-August -> 69% had
sinusitis
Medan
•13.67% and 71.43% caused by
apical abscess
Bandung
•Dominant in young and elderly
adult population, infection in the
first and second molars
ETIOLOGY
InfectionDental caries
Transmission of dental infection
Periapical infection of maxillary teeth
from premolars to upper third molars
IatrogenicDental implants
Tooth extraction,
Dental fillings
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Before
reach an
adult size
Distance between the
sinus floor and the
maxillary teeth apices
The maxillary teeth
roots may protrude into
the sinus cavity
The apical aspects of dental
roots surrounded by the sinus
mucoperiosteum
These short distance explain
the easy extension of an
infectious process from these
teeth to the maxillary sinus
DIAGNOSIS
PALPATION ●Tenderness
RHINOSCO
PY
●Purulent discharge
NASO
ENDOSCOPY
•Abnormalities not seen on
anterior rhinoscopy
•Minimal purulent discharge in
the middle meatus
•Polyps
DIAGNOSIS-SUPPORTING EXAMINATION
Sinuscopy
Microbiology and Resistencytest
Radiologic Imaging
DIAGNOSIS-MICROBIOLOGY AND RESISTENCY TEST
Zirket al. 70%
showed anaerobic
and 30% showed
aerobic.
Generally
polymicrobial
Predominantly
anaerobic
Peptostreptococcus,
Prevotella, and
Fusobacterium.
DIAGNOSIS-SINUSCOPY
secretions, polyp tissue and the
state of the sinus mucosa
Puncture through the medial
wall of the maxillary sinus
through the inferior meatus.
MANAGEMENT
•Consultation to the dental and mouth
Eliminate causative factors
•Antibiotic
Eliminate Infection
•Surgery
Evacuate secretions from the maxillary sinus
MANAGEMENT
•7-14 days
•Culture and resistance
•First Line-Penisillin
•Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, metronidazole,
cephalexin, ceftriaxone, erythromycin and
clindamycin
Antibiotic
MANAGEMENT
Surgery

DISCUSSION
Clinical Presentation
•One-sided purulent rhinorrhea, foul-smelling
and sudden onset
Hoskinson

•18 of 30 patients
•one-sided purulent rhinorrhea
•Foul odor, pain in the cheek, nasal congestion on one side,
swelling of the upper gums and post nasal drip
Lee et al
DISCUSSION
Diagnosis
Anterior rhinoscopy or nasal endoscopy
or sinusoscopy
purulent discharge but are still less
The gold standard: CT scan
DISCUSSION
Principle of the management of
Eliminate the causative factors
Evacuate secretions from the maxillary
sinus.
Consultation to the teeth and mouth
DISCUSSION
Therapy
•Culture and bacterial resistance
•Penicillin
•Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, metronidazole, cephalexin,
ceftriaxone, azithromycin and clindamycin.
Antibiotic
•52% of patients improved with medical and dental
treatment
•48% required endoscopic sinus surgery

DISCUSSION
•Dentogenousmaxillary sinusitis is an
inflammation of the nasal mucosa and maxillary
sinus
•Caused by the spread of dental infection
•One-sided purulent rhinorrhea, foul-smelling and
sudden onset
•Comprehensive management of the sinus and
dental abnormalities is required
