Maxillary sinuses are air-filled cavities lined with mucous membrane. They are ventilated through a connection to the nose and belong to the paranasal sinuses.
Inflammation of the maxillary sinuses (sinusitis) can have many causes. In most cases, inflammation of the maxillary sinuses caused by teeth can be distinguished from inflammation caused by viruses or bacteria. A connection between the oral cavity and maxillary sinus can also occur after tooth removal in the upper jaw, which must be closed. However, a fungal disease (aspergilloma) or a jaw cyst can also be the cause of sinusitis.
Those affected usually complain of pain and swelling in the cheek area. If the sinusitis is already more advanced, it can lead to pain in the entire dental system and in the face.
As part of a thorough examination and supported by the new three-dimensional imaging of digital volume tomography (DVT), we get to the bottom of the cause of your complaints in the specialist practice for oral and maxillofacial surgery in the Allee-Center. If you have a tooth-related (dentogenic) cause, such as an inflamed tooth, we will eliminate the cause of your symptoms after consulting your dentist.
