| description | Abstract Background Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis is a common type of maxillary sinusitis, which is secondary to adjacent infectious maxillary dental lesions. However, the prevalence and the different odontogenic risk factors that influence the pathogenesis of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis are not clear. Thus, odontogenic maxillary sinusitis is often overlooked and facing great difficulties of multi-disciplinary treatment decisions for odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. The objective of this study was to analyze the different dental potential risk factors of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis and optimize dental decision-making of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis, which finally provides evidence-based options for multi-disciplinary treatment. Methods 968 patients diagnosed with maxillary sinusitis were included based on sinus Computed Tomography, among which 261 patients were categorized as odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. The maxillary sinus and ostiomeatal complex Lund-Mackay score were used to evaluate the severity of sinus infection. Different dental lesions and relevant risk factors that may impact the severity of maxillary sinusitis are systematically evaluated with radiologic data. P < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results The prevalence of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis in maxillary sinusitis patients was 26.96% and in odontogenic lesions present simultaneously with unilaterally maxillary sinusitis reached up to 79.63%. The Lund-Mackay score of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis was significantly higher than that of non-odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. The first molar involved accounts for the highest tooth position in odontogenic lesions. The highest incidence of dental origin was peri-root origin, followed by apical origin and oral-antral fistula. The maxillary sinus Lund-Mackay score was significantly increased when the distance between the maxillary sinus floor and the odontogenic lesion was less than 3.32 mm. When the maxillary sinus floor bone was discontinuous, peri-root origin lesions led to a higher ostiomeatal complex Lund-Mackay score. Conclusion Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis has more severe pathogenesis than non- odontogenic maxillary sinusitis and accounts for 26.96% of maxillary sinusitis. The distance between the sinus floor and the odontogenic lesion, and also the type of odontogenic lesions are important risk factors in the severity of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis, which provided new references for guiding the clinical diagnosis and dental treatment of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. |
