CE: 1.0 hours 

Description:

This webinar explains and illustrates the etiology and symptoms of acute and chronic rhinosinusitis and its similarities, distinguishing differences, and frequent inter-relationship with endodontic etiology. In addition, the pathological extension of dental disease into the maxillary sinus and its sequelae are often unrecognized in clinical medical and dental practice.  Despite extensive scientific recognition and reported high prevalence, dental infection manifesting in the maxillary sinus remains under-appreciated and frequently goes undiagnosed by dentists, otolaryngologists, and radiologists alike, with its sequelae often misdiagnosed as sinogenic sinusitis.  The goal is to help practitioners recognize maxillary sinusitis of dental origin in order to relieve patient discomfort through accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and improved communication between dentists, endodontists and ENT specialists.  The webinar is very appropriate for physicians, ENT specialists, radiologists, endodontists and general dentists.

At the conclusion, participants will 

  • Describe the anatomy and function of the paranasal sinuses as well as the etiology and current treatment of acute and chronic sinusitis.
  • Recognize the distinguishing differences between pain of sinus origin and pain of pulpal origin and know when to render endodontic care or make an appropriate ENT referral.
  • Recognize the various stages of MSEO and describe how periradicular infections can advance to maxillary sinus infections and beyond.
