Sinusite maxilar odontogênica

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Sinusitis can be defined as a disease whose manifestation occurs through inflammation of the sinuses, caused by the introduction of bacteria, fungi, viruses, foreign bodies, allergies and changes in the immune system. As it is an infectious-inflammatory disease, a maxillary sinusitis of odontogenic origin, has its own signs and symptoms. The proximity between the tooth and the maxillary sinus, favored by the large number of micro vessels occupied between the antral mucosa and the periodontal tissue, predisposes invasions of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, cases of "iatrogenesis" have been linked as odontogenic sinusitis. OBJECTIVES: To carry out a literary review portraying the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of odontogenic sinusitis. METHODOLOGY: A descriptive literature review study on odontogenic maxillary sinusitis will be carried out. The descriptors will be used: odontogenic sinusitis, maxillary sinusitis and maxillary sinuses. They will be used as a research source for the selection of scientific works that fit the theme as virtual libraries: SciELO, PubMed and LILACS. EXPECTED RESULTS: When portraying the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of odontogenic sinusitis, it is expected that dental medical professionals have greater knowledge on the subject so that they can more skillfully diagnose a sinusitis of odontogenic origin and obtain the best possible treatment for each analyzed case.
