Comparative analysis of clinical characteristics of odontogenic maxillary sinus diseases associated with or without dental implants.

ABSTRACT: Unilateral maxillary sinusitis and maxillary fungal ball (FB) have diverse etiologies. Maxillary sinus diseases are predominantly associated with odontogenic origins. This study aimed to investigate and compare the clinical characteristics of odontogenic maxillary sinus diseases between implant-related and implant-non-related etiologies. This retrospective study enrolled 195 patients with odontogenic maxillary sinus diseases undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery. The patients were categorized into four groups: implant-related and -non-related odontogenic sinusitis and implant-related and -non-related odontogenic FB. The study analyzed sinonasal symptoms, SNOT-22 scores, comorbidities, social history, allergic status, and olfactory function. Computed tomography scans were performed to assess
