PECULIARITIES OF DIAGNOSING AND TREATING PATIENTS WITH PRIMARY ODONTOGENIC MAXILLARY SINUSITIS IN A DENTAL SETTING

This article presents an analytical review of modern approaches to diagnosing and treating patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis, often identified during dental appointments. The study is based on the analysis of educational, methodological, scientific, and patent literature to highlight the clinical and therapeutic aspects of this condition. The aim of the study is to determine the key stages in the development of diagnostic methods for odontogenic maxillary sinusitis, assess their effectiveness, and explore their relationship with modern treatment technologies. To achieve this, a patent information search was conducted using the Scopus and PubMed databases. A total of 39 scientific sources were analyzed, the majority of which were international studies. This analysis enabled the systematization of current diagnostic methods, including clinical, radiological, endoscopic, and microbiological approaches, with a focus on their effectiveness. The multidisciplinary approach to treatment, combining dental and otorhinolaryngological specializations, was also considered in order to provide a comprehensive approach to the treatment of patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis. The main emphasis was placed on therapeutic strategies and features of their application depending on the type and etiology of the disease. The results of the review confirm that early detection and a comprehensive approach to the treatment of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis are crucial for preventing complications and achieving sustainable clinical outcomes.
