Abstract

FERRARI, Carlos Henrique; LAPERRIERE, Frederico  and  MARTINHO, Frederico Canato. Differential diagnosis of dental sinusitis with the aid of computed tomography. Rev. Assoc. Paul. Cir. Dent. [online]. 2016, vol.70, n.3, pp. 274-276. ISSN 0004-5276.

The aim of the current article is to report three clinical cases diagnosed as sinusitis of dental origin, or endo-antral syndrome, an inflammatory condition of endodontic infection origin that affects the tissues and mucosa of the adjacent maxillary sinus up to the root apex. The presented cases draw attention to the difficulty of diagnosis only with periapical radiography and the importance of computed tomography as an auxiliary resource.
