Abstract

Odontogenic sinusitis represents a distinct entity of sinusitis with a particular cause and unique microbiology. It has been reported that odontogenic sinusitis makes up to 40% of maxillary sinusitis and up to 70% of unilateral maxillary sinusitis. It requires a collaboration and multidisciplinary approach involving dental subspeciality and otolaryngology. Endoscopic sinus surgery plays an important role in many cases and in some instances, it delivers quicker improvement. In this paper, we present two cases where sinusitis of dental cause was treated with endoscopic sinus surgery.


Keywords: Endoscopic Sinus Surgery, Maxillary Sinusitis, Odontogenic Sinusitis,
