Endoscopic Sinus Surgery in Recurrent Acute Rhinosinusitis
Maxillary SinusitisSinusitis2 moreThe aim of this study is to find out if endoscopic sinus surgery improves the quality of life in patients suffering from recurrent acute rhinosinusitis. Our main outcome is the difference between the average change in disease-specific SNOT-22 quality of life questionnaire scores (from baseline to 5-6 months follow-up) between the intervention and the control groups.
Balloon Sinuplasty Efficiency in Maxillary Rhinosinusitis.
Maxillary SinusitisSinusitis3 moreThis study is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded clinical study. The balloon sinuplasty treatment is compared to placebo effect in chronic or recurrent maxillary sinusitis. The purpose is to find out the efficacy of balloon sinuplasty of maxillary sinuses and the patients who get the best benefit from balloon sinuplasty. The investigators also want to find out if balloon sinuplasty of maxillary sinuses improves Eustachian tube dysfunction. The study is executed in the Department of Ear and Oral Diseases, Tampere University Hospital. 120 patients who have either recurrent acute or chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis and whose sinusitis is limited mainly into maxillary sinuses, are recruited in the study. The patients are allocated either into the chronic maxillary sinusitis (60 patients) or the recurrent maxillary sinusitis (60 patients) branch of the study. Then, the patients are consecutively randomized into two treatment groups in the proportion of 1 to 1: A) Balloon sinuplasty group and B) Placebo group. The treatment is performed according to the patient's group status and all the patients are followed 12 months postoperatively. The effect of balloon sinuplasty treatment in chronic maxillary rhinosinusitis is going to be measured primarily with the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22). In recurrent acute maxillary rhinosinusitis, the effect of balloon sinuplasty treatment will be measured primarily with the number of acute rhinosinusitis infections. Besides this, number of antibiotic treatments and sick leaves are inquired, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ-7) are used, rhinomanometry, Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), tympanometry, tubomanometry, nasal endoscopy and general evaluation of the patients clinical ORL-status are performed. Also pre- and postoperative biopsies are taken from the middle turbinates.
Prospective Study on the Efficacy of Exclusive Odontological and Medical Treatment in Chronic Dental...
Chronic Maxillary SinusitisThe study will be offered to patients for whom chronic maxillary sinusitis will be diagnosed in the first ENT (ear, nose and throat) consultation. These patients will then be seen in a stomatology consultation to determine whether or not a dental cause is objective
"Association of Peri-implantitis and Maxillary Sinusitis: a Case-control Study".
Peri-ImplantitisSinusitis6 moreScientific evidence regarding the influence of peri-implantitis on Schneider's membrane thickening is scarce and limited. Similarly, to date, there is no literature documenting the resolution of implant-associated maxillary sinusitis with peri-implantitis after treatment of peri-implantitis or removal of the implant. Therefore, the aim of this case-control study is to investigate the association between peri-implantitis and maxillary sinusitis. On the other hand, the changes that occur at the level of the maxillary sinus membrane after treatment of peri-implantitis or after implant explantation will be evaluated.
