Objective: To investigate the sinus swelling side effect on maxillary sinus cyst of nasal mucosa cilia. Methods: 34 cases of maxillary sinus cyst patients (treatment group), mean age (25.5 ± 2.2) years old; the control group was 30 healthy persons, the average age was(31.8 ± 9.1), treatment group oral sinus Xiaozhong decoction, and the control group before treatment, 30 days to observe the vari...

Introduction: Ectopic tooth eruption may result owing to one of 3 processes: developmentalDisturbance, iatrogenic activity, or pathologic process, such as a tumor or a cyst. In rare cases, occlusion of the sinus ostia may predispose a patient to develop a maxillary sinus mucocele. When the maxillary sinus is invaded, symptoms usually occur late in the process.   Case report: A 17 years old boy...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diameter, relationship and position of the posterior superior alveolar artery and its relationship with the alveolar ridge, the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, the prevalence of pathologic conditions and the maxillary sinus septa on CBCT images. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 200 CBCT images (400 maxillary sinuses) of patients o...

Background: Over the past decade, the indications of endoscopic surgery had been applied to the selected cases of malignant tumors. The acceptable morbidity and outcomes suggested that this technique could be available for the management of sinonasal malignant tumors. Objectives: To present our initial experience with the novel technique, modified transitional endoscopic maxillary, improve meth...

PURPOSE The aims of this study were to measure the distance of the intraosseous vascular anastomosis in the anterolateral wall of the maxillary sinus from different reference points, and to correlate the location of the intraosseous vascular anastomosis with the tooth position and the residual bone height of the maxilla. METHODS Computed tomography (CT) images were taken from 283 patients und...

The objective of the study was to estimate the normal upper and lower limit cut-off value of the different dimensions of maxillary and frontal sinuses, and also to determine the influence of gender on the obtained variables and to observe the effect of nasal septal deviation on maxillary sinus. The observational study was carried out and a total of 60 samples were collected from both males and ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, height, location and morphology of maxillary sinus septa in dentate, partially dentate and edentulous adults as well as in mixed dentition children using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for maxillary sinus surgical interventions. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Five hundred and fifty-four sides in the CBCT scans of 272 patients (3...

Fungus ball of maxillary sinus generally affects immunocompetent and nonatopic subjects. Although endoscopic removal is the current gold standard treatment, removal is at times difficult due to an accumulation of fungal elements in the anterior ad inferior recesses. Aim. To present our experience of maxillary fungus ball treated by the "gauze technique" that avoids these removal difficulties. M...

Silent Sinus Syndrome (SSS) is known to be a rare clinical condition, characterized by spontaneous and progressive enophthalmos and hypoglobus associated with atelectasis of the maxillary sinus and alteration of the orbital floor. Most of the patients with this syndrome present with ophthalmological complaints without any nasal sinus symptoms, and it typically has a painless course and slow dev...

DESIGN Retrospective survey. SETTING Tertiary care hospital. PATIENTS Forty-seven consecutive patients with cleft lip and alveolus with or without cleft palate. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The patients underwent compu...
