An Odontoma Found in the Wake of Maxillary Sinusitis Onset

Abstract

Sinusitis of dental origin is a relatively frequent entity, and odontomas are considered to be the most common odontogenic tumors of the oral cavity. Eruption and infection of odontomas are extremely rare. Here, we report an interesting case where odontoma was found in the wake of the maxillary sinusitis onset.

Odontogenic Sinusitis Caused by an Inflammation of a Dentigerous Cyst and Subsequent Finding of a Fibrous Dysplasia. A Case Report

“…In a survey conducted among otolaryngologists, CT scanning was the preferred imaging technique for the diagnosis of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis [6]. Before any kind of sinus surgery it is very important the sistematic study of radiographic anatomy of maxillary sinus [25].…”

“…A multidisciplinary therapy administered by a dentist and an otolaryngologist is occasionally recommended; in fact, 54% of patients have been reported to resort to a dentist to treat their maxillary sinusitis [9]. Although the symptoms may initially improve with the administration of antibiotics, if the dental pathology remains untreated, the therapy will eventually fail and the symptoms will return [6, 31]. …”

“…An ectopic tooth in the maxillary sinus can cause sinusitis [5] as well as dentygerous cysts, keratocystic odontogenic tumor, odontomas and bone tumors like ossifying fibromas [2, 6]. …”

Giant Complex Odontoma: A Case Report

“…16,17 Although, the most common location for complex odontoma is the posterior region of the mandible, several cases of complex odontoma have occurred in the maxillary sinus. 16,[18][19][20][21][22] Pain, chronic sinusitis, distortion of maxilla, nasal obstruction and a chronic draining sinus tract are some of the signs and symptoms of these cases.…”

Low-fouling electrospun PLLA films modified with zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate)-catechol conjugates

“…To mimic the microstructure of native extracellular matrices, fibrous scaffolds have been fabricated via electrospinning techniques for applications such as tissue engineering scaffold construction [1][2][3][4]. Poly (L-lactic) acid (PLLA)-based materials are widely used in applications such as tissue regeneration [5,6], implantation [7,8], and wound dressing [9][10][11], owing to its biodegradability and good biocompatibility [12]. However, use of PLLA as an implanted material is limited due to its hydrophobic properties, which create a barrier to their biocompatibility [13][14][15].…”
