Core Tip
Core Tip: Combining root canal therapy with nasal endoscopic surgery significantly improves treatment outcomes for severe odontogenic maxillary sinusitis caused by periapical periodontitis, compared to root canal therapy alone. This combination approach not only enhances the total effective rate but also reduces the scores of Lund-Kennedy and Lund-Mackay, indicating a reduction in maxillary sinus mucosa and bone injury. Moreover, it significantly lowers the incidence of complications and recurrence rates, while increasing patient satisfaction. These findings support the broader clinical adoption of this combined treatment strategy.
