Odontogenic sinusitis (ODS) has been shown to be the most common cause of unilateral maxillary sinus opacification on computed tomography scans. Review of the maxillary alveolar ridge and maxillary tooth roots, and their relationships to the maxillary sinus floor is essential when interpreting paranasal sinus imaging. In recent years, ODS has received increased attention in the recent otolaryngologic and dental literature. This article will discuss technical considerations to optimize imaging of the paranasal sinuses and maxillary dentition, as well as both classic and nuanced radiologic findings of ODS.

There are no clear guidelines for deciding between endoscopic sinus surgery and tooth extraction for the treatment of odontogenic sinusitis. Furthermore, tooth extraction does not necessarily improve sinusitis and eventually results in additional endoscopic sinus surgery. The present study aimed to retrospectively investigate negative predictive factors of tooth extraction for odontogenic sinusitis.

Background: Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is recognized in literature, but diagnosing it is challenging due to its different and overlapping clinical presentations of it. Misdiagnosis can lead to persistent symptoms and clinical burden. Interestingly, recent guidelines from the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery lack recommendations for dental evaluation in adult sinusitis cases.

Unlabelled: This study investigates the anatomical prerequisites that could contribute to the development of this condition.
Material And Methods: Using multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT), the study examined the structure and relationships of key anatomical features, including the alveolar process, sinus wall thickness, and the position of the teeth in relation to the maxillary sinus.
Results: The results revealed that the lower wall of the maxillary sinus is predominantly formed by the alveolar process, with significant variability in wall thickness, especially between the central and lateral regions.
