Article Abstract

Well-defined, faintly radiopaque lesions are occasionally observed in the antrum of the maxillary sinus in asymptomatic patients during maxillary sinus floor elevation. These lesions are treated as antral pseudocysts (AP) based on the clinical diagnosis in some cases, and maxillary sinus floor elevation is performed without enucleating these lesions. However, further surgery is required after implant placement if the lesion is a mucocele, odontogenic cyst, or tumour. This comprehensive clinical review aimed to identify an appropriate approach for maxillary sinus floor elevation in patients with well-defined, faintly radiopaque lesions in the antrum based on our clinical experience.

Introduction: The infratemporal fossa (ITF) represents a complex anatomical region of critical relevance in skull base surgery, particularly due to its involvement in the extension of neoplastic lesions. Surgical access to this region remains technically demanding. The orbitozygomatic (OZ) and transmandibular (TM) approaches offer distinct anatomical perspectives and operative corridors.

Orbital trauma can result in significant complications, particularly when accompanied by foreign body entrapment. Wooden foreign bodies are rare but carry a high risk of infection and chronic inflammation. In these cases, immediate surgical intervention is critical for restoring orbital anatomy and preventing complications.

Efficacy of platelet-rich albumin and fibrin gel in two-stage lateral sinus lift: a prospective study.

Ann Med Surg (Lond)

September 2025

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Latakia University, Latakia, Syria.

Background: Maxillary sinus lift procedures require biomaterials that combine osteogenic potential with structural stability. This study evaluates Albumin-Platelet-Rich Fibrin (Alb-PRF), a novel autologous material, as a standalone graft alternative in two-stage lateral sinus lifts, addressing limitations of rapid resorption in traditional platelet concentrates.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted on nine patients (mean age: 48.

The article presents the results of the study of polyvalent pyobacteriophage in the complex therapy of nosocomial sinusitis in 30 patients of intensive care units of a multidisciplinary hospital in Moscow. The etiologic factors of nosocomial sinusitis manifestation were the following microorganisms: According to the results of the study it was revealed that at the empirical phage therapy the regression of the main clinical symptomatology was achieved in 90% of patients. The average number of days of this therapy before registration of clinical sanation of the maxillary sinus was 4±1.
