Q

what are the inflammatory diseases of max sinus

A
  • bacterial infection
  • bacterial infection secondary to viral infection
  • fungal infection
20
Q

about ____ of inflammatory epidoses are eextensions of dental infections

A

10%

21
Q

what are the classifications of maxillary sinusitis and how long for each

A
  • acute: less than 2 weeks
  • subacute: 2 weeks- 3 months
  • chronic sinusitis: greater than 3 months
22
Q

what happens in acute maxillary sinusitus

A

there is suppurative or non suppurative inflammation of the mucosal lining of the maxillary sinus
- involves one or both sinuses

23
Q

what are the causes of acute maxillary sinusitis

A
  • secondary to hay fever and allergic rhinitis
  • secondary to acute rhinitis (common cold) and URI
24
Q

what are the signs and symptoms of acute maxillary sinusitis

A
  • headache
  • pain and tenderness
  • nasal obstruction
  • nasal discharge
  • toxic manifestations
  • heavy filling with bending
  • nasal congestion
25
Q

what is the clinical exam for acute maxillary sinusits

A
  • examine the nasal cavity: discharge- pus- blood- polyps
  • palpate the anterior wall of the maxilla (intra and extra oral approach)
  • rule out odontogenic cause (through clinical and radiographic exam)
26
Q

what is the treatment for acute maxillary sinusitis

A
  • rest and fluid and OH
  • antibiotics - augmentin after C and S is done
  • analgesics and NSAIDs (acetominophen and IBU)
  • antihistamines
  • local treatmetns
27
Q

what are the most causative organisms in acute maxillary sinusitis

A

pneumococci and streptococci

28
Q

what are the local treatments for acute maxillary sinusitis

A
  • nasal decongestant: afrin 2-3 nasal puffs 2 times a day for 3-4 days
  • steam inhalation
29
Q

what is chronic sinusitis

A
  • a chronic type of infection that affects the mucosal lining of one or both sinuses, resulting in mucous or pus collection
30
Q

what are mucosal polyps in the sinus

A

a polypoidal type of inflammation can lead to formation of multiple or single mucosal polyps inside the sinus

31
Q

what are the causes of chronic maxillary sinusitis

A
  • as a consequence of non resolved acute maxillary sinusitis
  • dental abscesses
  • virulent organism with low resistance
  • foreign body dislodgement or trauma
32
Q

what are the signs and symptoms of chronic maxillary sinusitis

A
  • headache
  • nasal obstruction
  • nasal discharge
  • fatigue
  • hyposmia/anosmia
33
Q

what is the surgical treatment for chronic maxillary sinusitis

A

sinus wash out

34
Q

what is the treatment for chronic maxillary sinusitis

A

same as acute maxillary sinusitis

35
Q

what are the complications of maxillary sinusitis

A
  • orbital abscess and orbital cellulitis
  • intracranial abscesses/meningitis
  • cavernous sinus thrombosis
  • spread of infection to neighboring sinuses, structures and organs
  • osteomyelitis
36
Q

what is a mycotic infection of the maxillary sinus and what organism causes it

A

-aspergillosis
- an opportunistic infection caused by maxillary sinus flora in a susceptible individual - low immunity

37
Q

what does a mycotic infection lead to and what is the tx

A
  • obliteration of the sinus space and erosion of its bony components
  • surgical removal of the associated lesion from the sinus
38
Q

what are the odontogenic cysts of the maxillary sinus

A
  • radicular cysts
  • residual cysts
  • dentigerous cysts
  • primordial cysts
39
Q

what are the non odontogenic cysts of the maxillary sinus

A
  • mucous retention cyst
  • mucocele
40

41
Q

what are the neoplasias of the maxillary sinus

A
  • squamous cell carcinoma
  • adenocarcinoma
  • sarcoa (osteosarcoma)
  • Ewing’s sarcoma
42
Q

what are the bone metaplasia and benign tumors of the maxillary sinus

A
  • fibrous dysplasia
  • ossifying fibroma
  • transitional papilloma
  • osteoma
  • giant cell lesions
43
Q

what are the types of trauma to the maxillary sinus

A
  • Le fort I fracture
  • zygomatic complex fracture
  • orbital floor fractures
  • oro antral communications, tuberosity fracture during tooth extraction process
44
Q

describe the Le Fort I fracture and what is involved

A
  • horizontal fracture though the maxilla above the level of the nasal floor and alveolar process
  • piriform rims
  • anterior maxilla
  • zygomatic buttresses
  • pterygoid plates
