Background: Sinusitis is an event that can occur at any age and can be seen in both sexes. The research was conducted in Afghanistan, Kabul, at the national specialization stomatology hospital, department of maxillofacial surgery, in year, 2020. The general aim of the research was to obtain sufficient information about the occurrence of sinusitis, symptoms and signs, prevalence and incidence rate, and treatment methods of dental sinusitis.
Methods: Descriptive research in a case series type. During 12 months, more than 7720 patients with various types of sicknesses visited the maxillofacial surgery service in the Stomatology National Hospital, including 14 patients who were hospitalized with maxillary sinusitis dental origin, in one year the percentage of which was 0.18%.
Results: the incidence of sinusitis was higher among males than females, it was about 57.1% in males and 42.9% in males, most cases were in the age group above 15 years and it was about 78.6%, but it was less seen in the age group below 15 years, it was 21.4%, the majority of patients (78.6%) had referred to the hospital for acute sinusitis, while chronic sinusitis was 21.4%. Fistulectomy was the most common treatment method for hospitalized patients, which is about 42.9%, followed by Cald well Luc operation, which was 35.7%, and a small percentage of patients who were not willing to undergo a surgical operation is 21.4%, while in developed countries the majority of operations are performed using endoscopic sinus surgery.
Conclusion: This research highlights the prevalence and treatment of sinusitis of dental origin, especially among men and elderly individuals with advanced dental pathology. It suggests a shift towards endoscopic sinus surgery, based on potentially improved patient outcomes and reduced morbidity. Further research and collaboration are needed to implement this change, leading to improved management of this common condition.
