Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the changes of maxillary sinus density after mid-facial fractures.Methods: A retrospective review was performed on patients with mid-facial fractures from 1995 to 2006.The changes of maxillary sinus density were evaluated by Water's view.Results: There were 219 cases,including 165 male and 54 female patients,who showed changes of maxillary sinus density on Water's view.Their ages ranged from 3 to 78 years.78 cases had follow-up plain radiograph.Among them,51 cases had normal maxillary sinus density,the density of sinuses of 19 cases became lower and the density of sinuses of 8 cases did not change or became higher.Conclusion: The maxillary sinusitis is a late complication and develops in some maxillary sinus after treatment of mid-facial fractures.Attention to the maxillary sinus density should be paied when following-up.
