This course is designed to familiarize the implant surgeon with the anatomy, physiology, and common pathologies of the maxillary sinus. Topics will be presented from the perspective of an Ear, Nose & Throat physician. The presentation will emphasize interdisciplinary cooperation to identify potential pitfalls in maxillary sinus and implant surgery which may be avoided, and optimize management of those that cannot.
Learning Objectives: At completion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
-
Understand the development of the maxillary sinus and its relation to the dentition
-
Appreciate how aberrations in the normal physiology of the maxillary sinus may lead to disease
-
Differentiate between inflammatory and non-inflammatory maxillary sinus findings on CT
