Abstract
Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis is damage to the mucosa of the maxillary sinus caused by the spread of inflammation from periapical dental processes in the immediate proximity or prominent in the maxillary sinus. Another ethiology can be trauma or dental tumors with or without infection. Failure to identify the etiological dental factor usually causes severe complications. An early history and a thorough clinical examination, together with a radiological evaluation, are key factors in establishing a correct final diagnosis. The multidisciplinary approach between dentists, ophthalmologists, otorhinolaryngologists, neurologists and other specialists is necessary to avoid further complications, which sometimes put the patient’s life at risk. A medical management and an early diagnosis corresponding to the dental pathology, remain critical in the treatment of maxillary sinusitis of dental origin and the prevention of severe complications.
