What are the problems related to maxillary sinus and how are they treated?
Maxillary sinuses are cavities in the upper jawbone and they may be infected by the inflammation in the upper molars. This condition, also called Odontogenic Infection, is treated medically or surgically. Sometimes this cavity is exposed during the removal of the upper molars. If the dentist does not take necessary precautions, an opening can form between the sinus and the oral cavity and the food and drinks patients take in may come out of their nose. In this case, the opening should be covered by using soft tissue from the palate or cheek. If the patient's sinuses are also infected, it should be treated simultaneously.
