Background: Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis is an inflammatory process of dental origin, localized in the maxillary cavity with all the characteristic manifestations of inflammation. The diagnosis is made on the basis of medical history, objective examination and paraclinical examinations (radiography, computed tomography, pulp vitality test). Case report:The patient is a 33-year-old man with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. In addition to the medical history and the clinical examination, paraclinical examinations are used during the diagnostic process: thermovisiography, orthopantomography, periapical radiography, pulp vitality test and computed tomography. Conclusion:Chronic periodontitis of the mediovestibular canal of tooth 26 has been identified as the etiological cause of the condition. In addition, we found resorptive changes and a foreign body; secondary caries and a lack of canal filling material in tooth canal. The algorithm we used,for the paraclinical examinations, started from the most non-invasive and continue to the more severe ones in order to maximally spare the patient's health during the diagnostic process.

“…This occurs because the metallic restoration blocks near-infrared rays, which the CCD camera of DIAGNOcam cannot detect, and the image of the same region is observed in black. On the other hand, since the tooth substance can transmit near-infrared rays, teeth are displayed in white in the acquired image, and in the case where a caries exists in the inside of the tooth, the same part is displayed in black 2,3,10) . In an image of a tooth restored with CR taken by DIAGNOcam, since the CR portion is observed with an average lightness value similar to that of a tooth, the use of DIFOTI with near-infrared light for CR is possible because the tooth material, namely, CR, can be examined by near-infrared rays.…”

“…However, since CRs have different light transmittance depending on the type and content ratio of the filler, it is expected that a difference in light transmittance will arise in the obtained image. The clinical application of this device has been developed, and its utility has been reported 2,3,[9][10][11] . On the other hand, no report has evaluated an image of teeth with CR restorations to detect caries.…”

Effect of resin composite filler on digital imaging fiber-optic transillumination

et al. 2019

Using a trans-illumination device that applies digital imaging fiber-optic transillumination (DIFOTI) technology, which involves the use of transmitted near-infrared laser light for inspection, the effect of composite resin (CR) restoration of a tooth on caries detection was evaluated. A cavity was formed in a tooth of the lower jaw cut from the specimen, experimental CRs with various filler rates were filled, and the influence of the filler on the obtained image was investigated. On the near-infrared images, the lightness differences between the CR-restored portion and the tooth portion were measured. The translucency parameter (TP) value and the correlation between the lightness differences and TP value of the CRs were investigated. The experimental results showed that the greater rate of macro-filler is, the lighter image and larger TP value. In other words, CR with hybrid filler to increase the TP value is less likely to affect caries detection by DIFOTI.
