Single-step Functional Sinus Endoscopy and Transoral Surgery Enhance Odontogenic Sinusitis Treatment Outcomes: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Dento- alveolar or dental structural diseases that affect the floor of the maxillary sinus can cause maxillary sinusitis which is known as odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS). Many treatment protocols have been documented to treat OMS. However, There is no unanimity among clinicians on how and who should treat OMS, whether is it otolaryngologist, oral/maxillofacial surgeons, or dentist. Therefore, this study will be will be enrolled to evaluate the efficacy of the Single-step Functional Sinus endoscopy and trans-oral surgery in the management of maxillary sinusitis raised from Odontogenic origin via Department- integrated therapy.
• A diagnosis of OMS that is not responding to dental treatment and/or medical treatment
• Agreement on the odontogenic cause between an ENT specialist and a dentist/maxillofacial surgeon (There is bone loss surrounding the tooth's root and a connection between the dental lesion and sinus on CT scans)
• Availability of clinical, radiographic, and ESS data.
