Maxillary Sinusitis - Odontogenic Origin
Download as PPTX, PDF81 likes20,164 views
Maxillary sinusitis of odontogenic origin can be acute or chronic and results from dental infections or procedures that allow bacteria to enter the maxillary sinus. For acute sinusitis, symptoms include pain, swelling and nasal congestion. Treatment involves antibiotics, drainage if needed, and extracting the infected tooth. Chronic sinusitis may require long-term antibiotic treatment and surgery to address the dental source of infection and open sinus drainage. Surgical procedures like the Caldwell-Luc involve removing the antral lining and creating new drainage to the nose.
Maxillary Sinusitis - Odontogenic Origin
- 1. Maxillary Sinusitis of Odontogenic Origin By: F1-F8 DMD3AA
- 2. INTRODUCTION • Maxillary Sinusitis is an infection or inflammation of the Maxillary Sinus. • Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis usually manifests unilaterally and its pathophysiology, microbiology and management are different from those of non-odontogenic sinusitis.
- 3. Sinusitis of odontogenic origin arise from: (A) Periapical abscess, (B) Chronic apical or extensive marginal periodontitis, or (C) After dental extraction
- 4. ETIOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS I. Acute Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis II. Chronic Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis
- 5. I. Acute Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis • Results primarily from multiplication of bacteria invading from the mouth or the focus of a dental infection. • Distance between the dental root apices and the antral floor generally correlates with the likelihood of sinusitis.
- 6. •Since maxillary premolar and molar teeth have the closest proximity to the antral floor, infection of these teeth is the most common cause of the disease.
- 7. Multiplication of bacteria invading from the focus of a dental infection results in odontogenic maxillary sinusitis.
- 8. • Additional etiology includes: 1. Dental or Alveolar Trauma 2. Odontogenic Cysts 3. Maxillary Osteomyelitis 4. Iatrogenic or accidental displacement of foreign bodies (e.g. fragments of broken instruments) during routine dental treatment or dentoalveolar surgical procedures (e.g. dental extraction) 5. And other surgical complications that result in sinus exposure.
- 9. Signs and Symptoms: (Acute) • Dull or intense pressure-like pain • Erythema • Swelling of the cheek and anterior maxilla • Pressure or fullness in the vicinity of the maxillary sinus • Headache • Malaise • Fever • Oral malodor • Mucopurulent rhinorrhea • Nasal Congestion or Obstruction • Drainage of foul-smelling mucopurulent materials into the nasal cavity and nasopharynx (postnatal drip)
- 10. Treatment • Initial Treatment: Antibiotic therapy (Penicillin, clindamycin, and metronidazole are adequate drugs of initial choice) • For moderate to severe cases: An increase drug dose and intravenous administration of antibiotic are especially recommended. • Drainage: to reduce pain intensity, prevents disease progression, and encourages resolution.
- 11. I. Chronic Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis • Results from prolonged low- grade inflammation in antral mucosa following acute phase or recurrence of acute sinusitis. • The antral mucosa is thickened with edema, infiltration of leukocytes and fibers, sometimes accompanied by the cration of polyps.
- 12. Some Local Signs and Symptoms: (Chronic) • Generally subtle but malodor • Persistent pus discharge, with or without postnatal drip • Toothache during chewing • Increased tooth mobility • Migraine • Dull headache
- 13. Treatment • Initial Treatment: Antibiotic therapy (Penicillin, clindamycin, and metronidazole are adequate drugs of initial choice) and surgery. • Elimination of Dental Source by tooth extraction, apicoectomy, endodontic therapy, removal of any involved foreign body, might lead to full recovery.
- 14. •If an oroantral fistula is present, frequent irrigation of sinus cavity via fistula can prove effective, although surgical closure of the fistula is required after sinusitis is cured. •However, if complete resolution is not achieved by these treatments, then SURGERY will be required.
- 15. GENERAL MANAGEMENT OF ODONTOGENIC MAXILLARY SINUSITIS I. 8 Steps II. By Surgical Means
- 16. I. 8 steps in Managing odontogenic infections • 1. Determine the severity of infection. • 2. Evaluate host defenses. • 3. Decide on the setting of care. • 4. Treat surgically. • 5. Support medically. • 6. Choose and prescribe antibiotic • therapy. • 7. Administer the antibiotic properly. • 8. Evaluate the patient frequently.
- 17. II. By Surgical Means Ex: Caldwell-Luc Procedure •Involves complete removal of the antral lining and creating of a new opening for more dependent drainage into the nose by transoral approach.
- 18. •A foreign body displaced into the antral cavity can be retrieved with small forceps and with the use of sunction through the expanded extraction socket or a bone opening in the canine fossa. Steps are as follows:
- 19. A: If the dental root or foreign body is displaced from extraction socket, the socket may be enlarged bucally after elevation of mucoperiosteal flap o expose the maxilla above the socket.
- 20. B: A mucoperiosteal flap is made around the canine-premolar recess.
- 21. C: After the flap is reflected, a new small oroantral opening is created in the bone, 1cm above the root apices of the first premolar.
- 22. D: Saline solution is injected into the antral cavity to flood sinus through the expanded socket or the opening and then a suction tube is inserted.
- 23. •The foreign body is likely to be sucked out together with saline solution or moved close to the opening for easy retrieval. After removal of foreign body and irrigation of sinus using saline, the wound is primarily closed. Use of short-term prophylactic antibiotic is recommended.
