“…Apart from these factors etiological causes are exposure to allergens, trauma and microbial infections. These could manifest in the maxillary sinus as linear mucosal thickening which may progress to partial and total opacifi cation 14,15,16) . In the present study, the most common fi nding was mucosal thickening, this observation was in consistent with the fi ndings of Elwakeel et al ,8) Rege et al, 9) Jangam et al 10) , Raghav et al, 11) and Ritter et al…”

To determine the prevalence of incidental maxillary sinus fi ndings and assess their relationships with age and gender. CBCT scans of 412 patients, comprising of 824 maxillary sinuses were evaluated. The maxillary sinuses were observed for increased mucosal thickening, polypoidal-mucosal thickening, opacifi cation and other pathological changes. Correlations of these pathologic fi ndings with age and gender were analyzed. The incidence of the pathological fi ndings in maxillary sinuses observed was 30.1%. The most common abnormality observed as mucosal thickening followed by opacifi cation. No signifi cant correlation was observed between genders and diff erent age groups. Based on the observations of the present study, it can be concluded that the prevalence of incidental maxillary sinus abnormalities in Saudi Arabian observed on CBCT is considerably high.

“…The close proximity of the maxillary sinus to the root of maxillary posterior teeth could result in several endodontic compilations. Maxillary sinus involvement may occur during the endodontic procedure because of the extension of periapical infection into the sinus [18,19]. The term "endo-antral syndrome" or "EAS" was coined by Selden for the spread of pulpal disease beyond the confines of the dental supporting tissues into the sinus [20].…”

Oral rehabilitation of patients with skeletal disorders requires important considerations and precautions. Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory disease of the axial skeleton which can also affect the peripheral joints including the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Patients with AS can suffer from skeletal pain during long dental appointments. Local, systemic, and psychological factors in this population can inadvertently complicate the diagnosis and treatment of their oral conditions. A case of a patient with AS and in need of oral rehabilitation is reported.

“…CBCT provides higher resolution images with less radiation exposure than conventional multidetector CT (MDCT). Although CBCT is able to detect odontogenic maxillary sinusitis 3) , there is no data showing the accuracy of CBCT findings for the diagnosis of non -invasive chronic fungal rhinosinusitis. Intrasinus calcification is a common finding of fungal sinusitis, especially of aspergillosis 4 -7) .…”

Objective : To investigate the accuracy of cone beam CT (CBCT) to diagnose non -invasive chronic fungal rhinosinusitis. Methods : Preoperative CT evaluation of non -invasive chronic fungal rhinosinusitis was performed by CBCT (3D Accuitomo 170 ® ) and traditional multidetector CT (MDCT) (Aquilion 32 ® ) in 13 and 38 patients with non -invasive chronic fungal maxillary sinusitis, respectively, in different facilities. Detection of intrasinus calcification was compared between these two groups. Results : Detection of intrasinus calcification in patients with non -invasive chronic fungal maxillary sinusitis was higher in the MDCT group (84.2%) than the CBCT group (46.2%). Conclusion : CBCT is inferior to MDCT in detection of intrasinus calcification in patients with noninvasive chronic fungal maxillary sinusitis. CBCT is frequently used in the screening of the paranasal lesion, but it is not enough to evaluate non -invasive chronic fungal maxillary sinusitis alone. Study design : Retrospective study.
