Effects of Dental Factors on Fungal Sinusitis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the associations between dental treatments and fungal maxillary sinusitis (FMS).

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed medical charts between July 2014 and March 2019. In total, 100 cases of FMS were included in this study. We also recruited 200 patients as a control group in the same period. Therefore, each of the FMS, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and normal sinus groups consisted of 100 patients. We recorded all endodontic treatments (EDTs), tooth extractions, dental implantations, and apical lesions (ALs).

Results

The FMS group had higher incidences of tooth extraction (49% vs. 11%, respectively) and EDT (29% vs. 16%, respectively) compared to the normal sinus group and fewer ALs compared to the CRS group (6% vs. 24%, respe
