Study to Measure the Impact of Antibiotics on Bacterial Flora in Adults With Acute Sinusitis
Maxillary SinusitisThe purpose of this study is to measure the speed of microbial eradication due to azithromycin or telithromycin in acute maxillary sinusitis (AMS).
Study Designed to Clinically Evaluate Sinus Wash Device Prototypes
SinusitisMaxillary SinusitisThe purpose of this study is to clinically evaluate sinus wash device prototypes in patients with sinusitis during Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (ESS) and in the hospital outpatient
Endosseous Oroantral Port for Minimal Intervention in Treating Chronic Sinusitis
Maxillary SinusitisThis study is intended to evaluate the efficiency of utilizing "dynamic implant valve approach" (DIVA) system in treating chronic maxillary sinusitis.
Microarray Analysis of Sinus Samples From Patients With and Without Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Maxillary SinusitisMucosal biopsies, endoscopically-guided brush samples of mucus, and a saline lavage taken from the maxillary sinuses of ten CRS patients undergoing sinus surgery are analyzed using three microarrays in order to detect bacteria, fungi and viruses. Ten control patients with normal sinuses will have the same samples taken. The hypothesis is that bacterial, fungal, and viral communities present in the maxillary sinus of patients with CRS are significantly different from those patients with healthy sinuses, and that microorganisms identified in patients with or without CRS will differ from previously published data obtained using other techniques.
Non-Interventional Open Label Prospective Comparative Observational Study Of Evaluation Of Compliance...
Maxillary SinusitisThe purpose of this study is to compare compliance between patients with Acute Bacterial Sinusitis (ABS) treated with Azithromycin SR 2.0 g single dose orally and those treated with Amoxiclav - 1000 mg twice daily 10 days for the empiric treatment of ABS in outpatient clinic practice.
Assessment of Relationship Between Maxillary Sinus Floor and Maxillary Posterior Teeth Root Tips...
Maxillary SinusitisThere have been no cross-sectional studies conducted on the Egyptian population studying the relationship between maxillary sinus floor and the maxillary posterior root tips position using CBCT, and whether the maxillary sinus mucosal thickening is associated with periapical lesions as well as periodontal disease. Such study will raise the diagnostic and interpretational abilities of dental radiologists and decision making of oral surgeons and endodontists.
