    Introduction: Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis is associated with diseases of the maxillary teeth. The close anatomical relationship of these teeth with the floor of the maxillary sinus leads to violation of the integrity of its mucosa and creates prerequisites for the infection to pass into the sinus cavity. Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis is characterized by dental complaints and the typical symptoms of all rhinosinusitis. There is lack of consensus in the literature on the algorithm of behaviour in these cases.Aim: To recommend a contemporary algorythm of management in patients with odontogenic maxillary sinuitis, which is consistent with both the established rules for the treatment of rhinosinusitis and the individual characteristics of each clinical case.Materials and methods: For the period 2001-2021, 157 patients were treated at St. George University Hospital, after extraction of an upper tooth (4-6) or with symptoms of nasal breathing difficulties and unilateral whitish secretion with an unpleasant odour. All of them had a history of dental intervention and CT data for changes in the osteomeatal complex or „foreign bodies“ in the maxillary sinus.Results: All patients were discharged on the third day after admission in improved general condition without complaints. No late postoperative complications were observed. In 8 of the patients with sinuscopy, after the control CT examination, performed a month later, a second intervention was necessary for the extraction of residual fungal material.Conclusion: The treatment of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis involves interdisciplinary approach of otorhinolaryngologists and dental specialists. However, modern understanding of the functioning of the nasal cavities and the development of pathological processes in them help us to build and present an adequate concept for diagnosis and therapeutic behavior

    Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Medical University of PlovdivThe present study was aimed at providing a clinical and epidemiological analysis of patients over 65 years old with jaw cysts. Data was obtained from the records of 40 patients with a final pathologically diagnosed “cyst” of the jaw. The patients were distributed into 4 age groups – from 65 to 69 years, from 70 to 74 years, from 75 to79 years, and over 80 years. The patients from the first, second, and third age groups were equally affected. The male to female ratio was 1:1. The maxilla was affected more frequently than the mandible (1.22:1). Almost a half of the radicular cysts (14 cysts; 46.7%) were in the edentulous regions of the jaws. Radicular cysts affected predominantly the maxilla in premolar`s region whereas the dentigerous cysts and the odontogenic keratocysts were observed mainly in the molar region of the mandible. The usual clinical complaints of the patients were painless swelling or suppuration. General anesthesia was the preferred method compared to a local anesthetic (1.35:1). Cystectomies made by an intraoral operative approach predominated over interventions through an extra oral approach by a ratio of 9:1. Radicular cysts were the most frequent jaw cysts in elderly patients, affected equally both sexes, and developed predominantly in maxilla. Представлен клинический и эпидемиологический анализ пациентов в возрасте выше 65 лет с челюстной кистой. Данные были получены из медицинских карт 40 пациентов с окончательным патологическим диагнозом „челюстная киста”. Пациенты были разделены на 4 возрастные группы: 65-69 лет; 70-74 года; 75-79 лет; и выше 80 лет. Пациенты 1, 2 и 3 группы находились в равных условиях. Соотношение мужчин и женщин было 1:1. Верхняя челюсть была поражена чаще, чем нижняя (1,22:1). Почти половина корневых челюстных кист (14 кист, 46.7%) были в беззубой области челюсти. Обычное обращение пациента к врачу было по поводу безболезненного опухания и нагноения. Общая анестезия была более предпочтительным методом, по сравнению с местной (1,35:1). Цистэктомия была осуществлена преимущественно внутриротовым доступом или через внешний доступ в соотношении (9:1). Корневая киста встречалась чаще у пациентов пожилого возраста, обоих полов и развивается чаще всего в верхней челюсти

    Introduction: Residual cyst is a radicular cyst whose adjacent teeth have been extracted. Objective: To make a clinical and epidemiological analysis of patients with residual jaw cysts. Material: The records of 621 patients with radicular cysts treated at the Clinic for Maxillofacial Surgery at University Hospital, Plovdiv, Bulgaria were examined. The definitive diagnosis of 112 of them was a “residual cyst.” Age, gender, location, reasons for diagnosing, and duration of hospital stay was studied. Results: Residual cysts amount to 18% of 621 radicular jaw cysts which were examined. The average age of patients was 47.58 ± 1.44 years. Gender distribution was 1.6: 1 in favor of males. Residual cysts occur in the maxilla 1.67 times more frequently than in the mandible. Most often they were diagnosed in the distal regions of jaws. Suppuration was the leading cause for diagnosing (45.5%). The average duration of hospital stay of patients with residual cysts was 6.9 ± 0.394 days. Conclusion: Radiological examinations prior to tooth extraction would minimize cases of residual cysts in the jaws.Введение: Остаточная киста – это корневая киста, соседние зубы которой были удалены. Цель: Проводить клиническое и эпидемиологическое исследование больных с остаточной кистой челюсти. Материалы и методы: Были исследованы 621 больных с корневой кистой в Клинике Челюстно-лицевой хирургии в Университетской больнице г. Пловдив, Болгария. Окончательный диагноз «остаточная киста» был у 112 больных. Были изучены возраст, пол, место жительства, основания для диагностики, длительность пребывания в стационаре. Результаты: Количество остаточных кист составило до 18% из 621 корневых кист челюсти, которые были рассмотрены. Средний возраст больных составил 47,58 ± 1,44 лет. Распределение по полу составило 1,6:1 в пользу мужчин. Остаточные кисты возникают в верхней челюсти. Чаще всего они были локализованы в дистальных отделах челюстей. Нагноение было основной причиной для диагностики (45,5%). Средняя продолжительность пребывания в стационаре больных с кистой – 6,9 ± 0,394 дней. Вывод: Радиологическое обследование до удаления зуба позволит свести к минимуму случаи с остаточной кистой в челюстях

    Introduction: Inflammatory processes of odontogenic origin in the maxillo-facial area are rare in children less than 3 years of age. Aim: The aim of this study was to present the structure and specific characteristics of odontogenic inflammatory processes in the maxillofacial area in children less than 3 years of age. Material and methods: Data was collected from patient’s medical files from the Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery at “St. George” University Hospital in Plovdiv, Bulgaria between January 1996 and April 2008. Data processing was performed with software SPSS 11.0. Results: Inflammatory processes were mainly in the maxilla rather than the mandible (1/0.05). Surgical treatment was etiological and included intraoral incision (all patients), extraction of the deciduous tooth that caused the inflammation (in 95% of the patients), or conservative dental medication (in 5% of the patients). Operative treatment was under general anesthesia (in 80% of the patients), local anesthesia with premedication (in 5% of the patients), or local anesthesia (in 15% of the patients). On average 2.3 teeth per patient were extracted. The microorganisms most frequently found were E. coli, Str. α-haemol., Enterococcus. Cephalosporins were most frequently applied. The patients spent in a hospital an average of 3.3 days. Conclusion: Odontogenic abscesses and phlegmons are found in early childhood (less than 3 years of age), even though the denture is still forming; and there is a tendency of a rise in their frequency.Одонтогенные абсцессы в челюстно-лицевой области у детей до 3-x летнего возраста: клиническое изучение воспалительных процессов одонтогенного происхождения 20 случаев в Болгарии. Введение: Воспалительные процессы одонтогенного происхождения челюстно-лицевой области редко встречаются у детей 3 лет. Цель: Oписание структуры и характерных клинических признаков одонтогенных воспалительных процессов челюстно-лицевой области у детей младше 3-x лет. Материал и методы: Были собраны данные медицинских карт пациентов Клиники Челюстно-лицевой хирургии “St. George” в Университетской больнице г. Пловдив, Болгария, в период с января 1996 года по апрель 2008 года. Обработка данных проводилась с помощью программы SPSS 11.0. Результаты: Воспалительные процессы в основном были выявлены в верхней челюсти, а не в нижней (1/0.05). Хирургическое лечение являлось этиологическим методом и включало внутриротовой разрез (все пациенты), экстракцию больных зубов, которые вызвали воспаление (у 95% пациентов) или консервативное медикаментозное лечение (у 5% пациентов). Оперативное лечение было проведено под общей анестезией (у 80% пациентов), местной анестезией с премедикацией (у 5% больных), или местной анестезией (у 15% пациентов). В среднем были удалены 2, 3 зуба на одного пациента. Наиболее часто встречающиеся микроорганизмы были E. coli, Str. α-haemol., Enterococcus. Цефалоспорины – наиболее часто применяемые антибиотики. Число дней, проведенных в больнице, составляло в среднем 3,3 дня. Вывод: Одонтогенные абсцессы и флегмоны выявляются в раннем детском возрасте (у детей менее 3 лет), несмотря на развитие зубной ткани. И это является тенденцией роста их частоты

    : This study evaluated patient's perception of recovery following surgical removal of mandibular third molars (SRM3s) including analyze of potential risk factors associated with impaired convalescent. Patient related parameters combined with preoperative questionnaires including Modified Dental Anxiety Scale, Oral Health Impact Profile-14, and Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth index were correlated with questionnaires assessing pain, swelling, trismus, sick leave, social and working isolation, physical appearance, eating and speaking ability, diet variations, sleep impairment, impaired sensation of the lip, chin, and tongue, one month following SRM3s. Totally, 412 patients (223 females, 189 males) with mean age of 29.4 years were included. Treatment satisfaction and willingness to undergo similar surgery were reported by 92% and 95%, although 21% reported that the surgery and postoperative period had been worse than expected. Mean days with pain, sick leave, and swelling were 3.6, 2.1, and 3.6, respectively. Preoperative symptoms, dental anxiety level, and prolonged surgical time were associated with increased pain and swelling (P < 0.05). Pell and Gregory classification (I-IIIC) were associated with impaired sensation of the lower lip and chin (P < 0.05). Consequently, results from this study improve the surgeon's ability to predict parameters that predisposed to impaired recovery and neurosensory disturbances following SRM3s
