Poberezhnik G. Cause and prevention of complications in patients with odontogenic sinusitis.

The thesis deals with issues of timely prevention of complications in patients with odontogenic sinusitis depending upon the cause of odontogenic sinusitis. The work is based on retro- and prospective prognosis of the course of odontogenic sinusitis in 851 patients. Grounded upon direct and remote results of treatment, due to the newly introduced questionnaire and monitoring of the results of the treatment, alterations in the mucosa depending upon the cause of odontogenic sinusitis have been discovered. Retrospective analysis gave rise to objectively based prospective prognosis in 468 patients with odontogenic sinusitis. The monitoring data having been statistically processed allowed to prognosticate complications in patients with odontogenic sinusitis depending upon the cause of the disease. Practical value of the prognostic algorithm improving efficiency of prognosis of developing complications of odontogenic sinusitis has been proven. Practical recommendations concerning the application of the algorithm have been introduced.
