Description
The pathological extension of dental disease into the maxillary sinus and its sequelae are often unrecognized in clinical medical and dental practice. Despite extensive scientific recognition and reported high prevalence, dental infection manifesting in the maxillary sinus remains under-appreciated and frequently goes undiagnosed by dentists, otolaryngologists, and radiologists alike, with its sequelae often misdiagnosed as sinogenic sinusitis. The goal is to help practitioners recognize maxillary sinusitis of dental origin in order to relieve patient discomfort through accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and improved communication between dentists, endodontists and ENT specialists. This session is very appropriate for physicians, ENT specialists, radiologists, endodontists and general dentists.
