Clinical Features and Dental Pathologies in Maxillary Sinus Fungal Balls and Odontogenic Sinusitis
This international, multicenter study compared clinical and dental characteristics of maxillary sinus fungal balls (MSFB), odontogenic MSFB (MSFBO), and odontogenic sinusitis (ODS). When MSFB and MSFBO were compared, MSFBO was associated with extruded root canal material and dental implant protrusion; when MSFBOs and ODS were compared, ODS was ...
