What causes odontogenic sinusitis and how it manifests itself
Odontogenic sinusitis is an inflammation. Localized in the mucous membranes of the maxillary sinus. Odontogenic sinusitis progresses due to the spread of the inflammatory process from the initial focus located in the upper jaw.
Symptoms are usually bright. Expressed by headaches, aggravated by head movement. A characteristic sign is discharge from the nasal passages of a serous or purulent color. The condition is accompanied by intoxication.
Odontogenic sinusitis can develop due to the following reasons:
- inflammation, infection of molars, premolars - periostitis, osteomyelitis, periodontitis, cysts;
- dental therapy, suggesting perforation of the apical foramen, followed by the introduction of filling material, intraosseous implantation;
- trauma - damage accompanied by the formation of a hematoma, perforation of the maxillary sinus.
In some cases, odontogenic sinusitis itself do not show. They are revealed by chance at the beginning of the examination before dental treatment.
In the presence of such a disease, correct diagnosis and high-quality treatment are very important, because meningitis and other equally serious pathologies can result from further progression of the inflammatory process.

At the same time, the price of therapy is not much different from that of medical institutions in Europe.
