“Maxillary Sinusitis of Endodontic Origin"
The pathological extension of endodontic disease into the maxillary sinus and its sequelae are often unrecognized in medical and dental practice. Despite extensive literature recognition and reported high prevalence, dental infection manifesting in the maxillary sinus is often misdiagnosed and treated as rhinogenic sinusitis.
