Abstract

A case of 18-years old male patient with recurrent maxillary sinusitis and radiographic study with opacity in left maxillay sinus was reported. He was admitted at the Otorhinolaringology Department of "Comandante Manuel Fajardo" university clinical and surgical hospital. Conventional radiographic examination of perinasal sinus is considered a very important tool in primary health care; but also orthopantogram is required to exclude diverse diagnosis (supernumerary teeth, dentigenous cyst, and embedded tooth). The Caldwell-Luc approach improves visibility of and accesibility to lesions, contributes to make diagnosis and relieves the patient's condition without further complications. The most relevant quotations found in research works about the topic were selected.
