CONTENTS

INTRODUCTION 1

Introduction

Maxillary sinus

“Maxillary sinus is the pneumatic space that is lodged inside the body of maxilla and that communicates with the environment by way of the middle meatus and nasal vestibule.” 6 Drake, Richard; Vogl , A. Wayne; Mitchell, Adam W. M.  Gray's Anatomy for Students E-Book London: Churchill Livingstone, 2009

7 First described by British surgeon- Sir Nathaniel Highmore in 1651

8 Possible relation between dental pathology and spread of infection to the maxillary antrum was described by Scottish surgeon- Sir John Hunter

Development of Maxillary Sinus First paranasal sinus to develop 4th month of fetal life : shallow groove between the oral cavity and the floor of the orbit. At birth : slit like out-pouching of the nasal cavity Develop as an evagination of the mucous membrane of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity at the level of the middle nasal meatus forming a minute space that expands primarily in an inferior direction into the primordium of the maxilla. Grows rapidly by a process known as ‘ Pneumatization ’ during the eruption of deciduous teeth Reaches half its adult size by 3yrs of age Reaches full size after eruption of permanent dentition

Development of Maxillary Sinus

Pneumatization Courtesy: White SC, Pharaoh MJ. Oral Radiology: principles and Interpretation. 5 th ed.St.Louis (US): Mosby/Elsevier; 2004.p.177-180. At young age, sinus growth by pneumatization α growth of the maxilla With the advance of age, pneumatization exceeds maxillary growth. Thus the antrum will expand at the expense of the maxillary process.

13 In old age pneumatization becomes more pronounced, the floor of the sinus moves at more downward position particularly when the maxillary teeth are lost.

Functions Of The Maxillary Sinus 14

15

Out of all the Paranasal sinuses, Maxillary sinus is the most important for an Oral Physician due to its close proximity to the roots of maxillary teeth

Normal Anatomy Located within the body of the maxillary bone Pyramidal in shape Apex: directed laterally, is formed by the zygomatic process Base: directed medially, is formed by the lateral wall of nose Floor: formed by the alveolar process of the maxilla

Anatomical Relations Mediolaterally Central air-filled cavity Roof : bounded by the orbit Medial wall : bounded by the nasal cavity Lateral wall : related to the zygoma and cheek Anteroposteriorly Anterior wall : related to the facial surface of maxilla Posterior wall : related to the pterygopalatine fossa Floor : related to the apices of the maxillary posterior teeth 18

19

Anatomical Relations It communicates with the middle meatus of the nasal cavity in the lower part of the hiatus semilunaris through opening called ostium maxillare It is about 3-6mm in diameter A second opening is usually seen at the posterior end of the hiatus 20

Anatomical Relations The internal surface of the maxillary sinus may have bony septa that partially divide it into intercommunicating compartments Separate ostia may be found in relation to these compartments 21

Maxillary Sinus Height (opposite first molar tooth)-3.5cm Width -2.5cm Antero-posterior depth- 3.25cm Average volume -15ml 22

Blood Supply 23

Lymphatic Drainage Lymphatic drainage from the maxillary sinus is relatively poor. Lymphatics from the skin over the anterolateral wall drains to the submandibular nodes. From the antrum it drains into retropharyngeal lymph nodes and then to the upper deep cervical lymph nodes 24

Histology of Maxillary Sinus Contains air Lined by mucoperiosteum with a pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium 25

Histology of Maxillary Sinus Maxillary sinus is lined by three layers: epithelial layer, basal lamina and sub epithelial layer with periostium . Epithelium is pseudo stratified, columnar and ciliated. As cilia beats, the mucous on epithelial surface moves from sinus interior towards nasal cavity. 26

Clinical Examination 27

Palpation 28

Transilllumination 29

Intraoral Examination Intraoral examination should be performed looking for the following in upper molar and premolar region:- Alveolar ulceration Expansion Tenderness Paresthesia 30

Radiological Investigations 31

Radiological Investigations Conventional Intraoral Periapical Occlusal Lateral Occlusal Extraoral Water’s view Standard occipitomental - 0 OM True lateral skull Caldwell view Submentovertex Advanced imaging CT MRI CBCT

Periapical Radiograph Radiolucent area above apices of maxillary molars. Floor appears as a thin radiopaque line Septa appear as radiopaque lines within the sinus 33 Area of Antrum shown Base of antral cavity Relationship with maxillary posterior teeth

Periapical Radiograph Borders of the maxillary sinus appear as a thin, delicate radiopaque line . (White & Pharoah 2000) In the absence of disease it appears continuous, but on close examination it has small interruptions in its smoothness or density . The roots of maxillary molars usually lie in close apposition to the maxillary sinus and may project into the floor of the sinus, causing small elevations or prominences. 34

Relation between maxillary posterior teeth roots and inferior wall of sinus Acc to Sharan et al 0- the root is not in contact with the cortical border of sinus 1- an inferiorly curving sinus floor with the root in contact with the cortical border of sinus 2- an inferiorly curving sinus floor with the root projecting laterally on the sinus cavity but with the root apex outside the sinus boundary 3- an inferiorly curving sinus floor with the root apex projecting into the sinus cavity 4- a superiorly curving sinus floor enveloping part or all of the tooth root 35 Sharan A, Majdar D. Correlation between maxillary sinus floor topography and related root position of posterior teeth using panoramic and cross-sectional computed tomography imaging 2016 3:102 375-381

Submentovertex View 44 Area of Antrum shown Lateral and posterior walls Comparison of both sides

Systematic approach to examine the Antra Compare antral shadows on both sides- they should be radiolucent Compare the radiodensity of the antrum on each side with the density of the soft tissue shadow lateral to it The antra should be more radiolucent Check the integrity and shape of the roof and lateral walls Also check the medial wall even though it is the least well defined and difficult to interpret 45

Ultrasonography Ultrasound is becoming the diagnostic tool of choice for more and more physicians in detecting sinusitis. Offers fast, reliable and radiation free method or diagnosing sinusitis and has been used successfully in Finland for around 15 years ( Landman 1986) Ultrasound beam sent out by the sinus ultra is reflected from the posterior wall of the sinus when the sinus contains fluid and from the anterior wall when sinus contains air. 50

Maxillary Sinus Lining 60 The lining membrane of paranasal sinuses is a respiratory mucosa – 1mm thick When inflamed – increase in thickness 10-15 times Mucosal membrane thickening greater than 3 mm is most likely pathologic Radiographically – radiopaque band more radiopaque than air filled sinus, paralleling bony wall of sinus

Occlusal Radiograph 61 MAXILLARY CROSS SECTIONAL VIEW Area of Antrum shown Antero-inferior aspects of each antrum Relationship with upper posterior teeth

Radiography Of Paranasal Sinuses Radiography of paranasal sinuses Posteroanterior projection ( occipito frontal projection of nasal sinuses) 2 methods for obtaining this Posterior Anterior (Granger projection) Modified Method, inclined posterior anterior (Caldwell Projection) Radiography of maxillary sinuses Standard occipitomental projection (0° OM) Modified method (30° OM projection) Bregma Menton PA Waters 62

Postero -anterior of the skull (PA skull )/ occipitofrontal (OF) The main clinical indications include: • Fractures of the skull vault • Investigation of the frontal sinuses • Conditions affecting the cranium, particularly: — Paget's disease — multiple myeloma — hyperparathyroidism • Intracranial calcification. 63

Posteroanterior (Granger) Projection E xcellent for evaluating the inner and middle ear because the petrous pyramid can be viewed through the orbits. 64

Caldwell View 65 Area of Antrum shown Medial wall Mid portion of the antral roof 1- Frontal sinus 2- Ethmoid sinus 3-Petrous apex 4-Inferior orbital fissure 5-Maxillary sinus obscured by petrous apex *- Site of anterior ethmoidal artery

Occipitomental 66 Area of Antrum shown Main antral cavity Lateral Wall Roof or upper border Medial wall Allows comparison of both sides Projection taken with patients mouth open for investigation of sphenoidal sinus

 Examine the 0° OM using an approach based broadly on that suggested originally by McGregor & Campbell (1950), often referred to as Campbell's lines. 67

68

30° Occipitomental (30° OM) This projection also shows the facial skeleton, but from a different angle from the 0° OM, enabling certain bony displacements to be detected . The main clinical indications include: Detecting the following middle third facial fractures : — LeFortI — Le Fort II — Le Fort III • Coronoid process fractures 69

Bregma Menton View This projection used primarily – walls of maxillary sinus- especially in posterior areas, the orbits, the zygomatic arches and the nasal septum Demonstrated medial or lateral deviations of the mandible 70

Water’s View 71 Area of Antrum shown Antral cavity Roof of the antrum Lateral and medial wall Comparison of internal radiopacities

Maxillary Sinus Septa First mentioned – Underwood in 1910 Formation Bony septa originating in sinus floor – Underwood Septa. Divide the sinus into multiple compartments known as posterior recesses. Location Present in maxillary sinus, act as walls to divide the sinus floor Septa Origin : Classification Underwood – maxillary sinus floor divided into three basins Small anterior one over the premolar region A large median one descending between roots of first and second molars Small posterior one corresponding to third molar region 72

Maxillary Sinus Septa Krenmair et al divided septa into primary and secondary. Primary septa corresponding to those first described by Underwood, arising from development of maxilla Secondary septa arising from irregular pneumatisation of the sinus floor following tooth loss Variations with age Other authors classified septa related to the presence/absence of maxillary teeth. Primary septa located superior to maxillary teeth and secondary septa located on edentulous maxillae. 73

Diseases of the Maxillary Sinus 74

Diseases of the Maxillary Sinus

Intrinsic Diseases 76

Extrinsic Diseases 77

78

Inflammatory Diseases 79

Mucositis Thickened mucosa Non corticated band more radiopaque than the air filled sinus, parallelling the bony wall of sinus 80

Sinusitis 81 Radiographically there is thickening of sinus mucosa The appearance of thickened mucosa helps to differentiate between an allergic reaction and an infection In case of allergic reaction, the mucosa tends to be more lobulated In case of infection, the mucosal outline is more smoother with the contour following the sinus wall

82 According to Veterans Affairs general medicine clinic study, the accuracy of diagnosing sinusitis increases to more than 80% if the following criteria are considered in the water’s view: 1. Presence of air fluid level 2. Sinus opacity 3. Mucosal thickening greater than 6 mm

83 The resolution of acute sinusitis becomes apparent on radiograph as a gradual increase in the radiolucency of the sinus The thickened mucosa gradually shrinks In time it again becomes radiographically invisible In chronic sinusitis the inflammation may stimulate the sinus periosteum to produce bone resulting in thick sclerotic borders of the maxillary antrum

Staging of Sinusitis Kennedy’s Staging 1992, based on history, CT finding and endoscopic appearance Four stages; Stage I, Stage II, Stage III and Stage IV 84 Harvard Staging 1994, similar to Kennedy's Thickening of inflammatory disease 2mm is normal thickness, anything more than 2mm is disease Levine and May Staging 1993, considers involvement of osteomeatal complex Lund-Mackay Staging 1993, most accepted Stage 0: No abnormality Stage 1: Partial Opacification Stage 2 : Total Opacification

Retention Pseudocyst 85 Well defined, non corticated, smooth, dome shaped, homogeneous radiopaque mass

Retention Pseudocyst Radiographic features Cysts usually found projecting from the floor of the sinus, though some form on the lateral walls Base may be narrow or broad Dodd and Jing – Mucous cysts are more likely to have a broad base, serous more pedunculated Mucous cyst smaller than serous cyst Mucous cyst associated with thickened mucosa 86

Polyp Thickened mucous membrane Maxillary sinus shows radiopacity ; which is present despite of the position in which the radiograph is taken. Usually, the radiopacity has convexity pointing upward 87

88 Pseudocyst Odontogenic cysts Dome shaped More rounded or tear drop shaped Lacks corticated border as that of a cyst Floor of antrum is displaced Corticated border of cyst becomes coincident with the bony sinus floor In case of radicular cyst, the lamina dura of involved tooth is not intact Pseudocyst Antral polyps Solitary Often multiple Adjacent mucous membrane lining is not apparent More commonly associated with a thickened mucous membrane Benign neoplasms are usually separated from the sinus cavity by a radiopaque border Malignant neoplasms may destroy the osseous border of the sinus and are less likely to be dome shaped

Anthrolith Radiopaque masses having a well defined periphery which may be smooth or irregular in shape Internal density- Homogenous or heteogenous 89

Mucocele Radiographically : Uniform radiopacity with a more circular or hydraulic shape Bony expansion with thinning of bony walls Displacement or resorption of teeth Erosion of septa and of bony walls may be seen 90

Dental Cysts 91

Odontogenic Cysts Radicular cyst, dentigerous cyst, odontogenic keratocyst 92

Radicular Cysts Cause elevation of floor of sinus - Appears as a halo 93

94

Odontogenic Keratocyst 95

Odontogenic Keratocyst 96

97

Large Cysts 98 Odontogenic cysts Sinusitis Cyst wall is often thicker and more regular A cyst that occupies the entire sinus causes expansion of medial wall of sinus Loculation - round shape with a cortex, appears more radiolucent than the fluid within the cysts

Pseudotumour 107

Traumatic Injuries 108

Traumatic Injuries to Maxillary Sinus Oro Antral Fistula Oroantral fistula is an abnormal communication between the oral cavity and the maxillary sinus . It can result due to several causes such as extraction of teeth, massive trauma, surgery to maxillary sinus, osteomyelitis of maxilla, malignant tumor , infected upper implant denture, Malignant granuloma Radiograph may show break in continuity of floor of maxillary sinus  109

Traumatic Injuries to Maxillary Sinus Root Or Foreign Body In The Antrum The inadvertent displacement of a root, even a whole tooth into the maxillary sinus may cause an oro antral fistula Following incomplete extraction of a tooth the apical segment remaining in the socket may be dislodged by injudicious use of elevators into the sinus A root tip in the sinus does not have lamina dura around it. may change its position in the sinus which changes with patient’s head position. It will not change its position when it is trapped between the mucosa and floor of the sinus.  110

Traumatic Injuries to Maxillary Sinus Blow Out Fracture Blow to the eye – pressure exerted against orbital walls Pressure of blow forces the inferior periorbital contents (fat and muscle) through the fracture – become entrapped Radiographically – opacification of maxillary sinus with or without fluid level, soft tissue mas sin upper portion of sinus, image of depressed bone fragments In Water’s projection – fractures of the thin walls are imaged as “bright lines” (white) superimposed over sinus 111

Traumatic Injuries to Maxillary Sinus Isolated Fractures Isolated fractures of paranasal sinuses involve only a single wall Radiographs –identified by fracture line “bright line” Clouding of involved sinus 112

113

114

Role In Forensics It has been reported that maxillary sinuses remain intact, although the skull and other bones may be badly disfigured in victims who are incinerated. Hence maxillary sinuses can be used for identification. Maxillary sinus imaging plays an important role in analysis of maxillary sinus based on its volume, shape and dimensions to determine ethnicity and gender It can assist in giving accurate dimensions for which certain formulae can be applied to determine the gender. 115
