Abstract

Odontogenic sinusitis (ODS) has traditionally been considered responsible for 10–12% of maxillary sinusitis cases, but more recent series attribute 25–40% of chronic maxillary sinusitis to a dental source. Dental procedures are now the leading cause. Root fragments, endodontic filling materials, dental implants and bone-graft particles displaced into the maxillary sinus act as foreign bodies that sustain infection and respond poorly to medical therapy.
