Paranasal sinuses
Paranasal sinuses
Paranasal Sinuses (PNS) are air containing bony spaces around the nasal cavity. Usually lined by respiratory mucous membrane of ciliated columnar epithelium 4 paired (bilateral) PNS are: Maxillary Frontal, Sphenoidal ,Ethmoidal
Sinus
LATIN word meaning a Fold or Pocket.
TYPES
named according to the bone in which they lie.
1) The Maxillary sinuses: largest of the paranasal sinuses ,are under the eyes in the maxillary bones.

4) The sphenoid sinuses in the sphenoid bone at the centre of skull base under the pituitary gland.
Lateral Sinus Anatomy
Maxillary sinus
Maxillary sinus is the pneumatic space that is lodged inside the body of the maxilla and that communicates with the environment by way of the middle meatus and the nasal vestibule
ANTRUM
Maxillary sinus is also called “ maxillary antrum” .ANTRUM IS A GREEK WORD MEANING “CAVE”.

PARANASAL SINUSES
STRUCTURE OF MAXILLARY SINUS
ANATOMY: FOUR SIDED PYRAMID BASE: medially towards nasal cavity
forming the lateral nasal wall. APEX: Extends laterally into the body of
zygomatic bone. ROOF( upper wall): Floor of the orbit. FLOOR: Alveolar process

Pneumatization
Physiologic process that occurs in all paranasal sinus during the growth period causing them to increase in volume.
Pneumatization is the enlargement of the sinus by resorption of alveolar bone that formerly served to support a missing tooth or teeth and then occupies the edentulous space. A thin cortex remains over the alveolar ridge (arrow) to maintain a normal contour
Gradual pneumatization continuous process persisting throughout life.
PNEUMATIZATION
EXPANSION OF MAXILLARY SINUS GREATER BASALLY IMPINGING MORE AND MORE ON ALVEOLAR PROCESS.
pneumatization???
Pneumatization of alveolar process is believed to result from disuse atrophy initiated by tooth removal.

Pneumatization
Pneumatization of the sinus. Extension of the maxillary sinus into the tuberosity as a result of pneumatization
RECESSES RECESSES: The maxillary sinus pneumatization may
extend into nearby bony elements as recesses - infero-medially into hard palate, laterally into zygomatic bone and posteriorly into ethmoids So, the expansions of maxillary sinus beyond the maxillary bone are known as recesses. Found in alveolar process(50 %), zygomatic process(41.5%),frontal process(40.5%),Palatine process (1.75%).
Some processes of maxilla get invaded by air spaces and these are called recesses
Alveolar recess
Recesses
ZYGOMATIC RECESS= Superior alveolar nerves plus vessels in proximity with sinus.
Frontal Recess= invades and surrounds the contents of infraorbital canal.
Alveolopalatine recess; reduce the amount of bone between dental apices and sinus space.most often pneumatizes the floor of sinus adjacent to the roots of the first molar.
Fully developed alveolar recess= 3 depressions separated by 2 incomplete bony septa.
Anterior depression=premolar buds site Middle depression=molar buds, posterior depression= third
molar bud
Microscopic features 3 layers surround the space of the max sinus : 1) Epithelial Layer 2) Basal lamina 3) Subepithelial layer including the periosteum.
Most numerous cells in max sinus are – Columnar ciliated cells.
Additional cells:Basal cells, columnar non ciliated cells, mucus secreting goblet cells

Scanning Electron microscopy of nasal/sinus cilia (orange in thisimage). The pink ball is a speck of pollen. The gray blobs are dust
particles
Pathway of sinus drainage inside the maxillary sinus. Ciliated cells continually sweep mucous towards the
ostium.
Ciliated cells
The ciliated cells enclose the nucleus & electron lucent cytoplasm with numerous mitochondria & enzyme containing organelles.
Ciliated cells
The basal bodies serve as attachment of ciliary microtubules.
The cilia provide motile apparatus.
Ciliated cells
By ciliary beating, the mucous blanket lining the epithelial surface moves from the interior of the sinus towards the nasal cavity
Goblet cells
Basal segment contains nucleus Goblet cells contain RER & SER along
with the Golgi apparatus all of which are involved in the synthesis of secretory substances
This means that they contain all the characteristics of secretory cells.
Goblet GLASS
GOBLET CELLS
Subepithelial layer
Contain subepithelial glands and reach the sinus lumen by way of excetory ducts.
The glands contain both serous and mucous acini i.e secrete serous as well as mucous secretion.
Myoepithelial cells surround the acini composed of either both secretory cells
or a pure population of cells of either secretory type.
Subepithelial layer
The subepithelial layer also consists of collagen bundles,fibroblasts,vessels and nerves.
Composition
serous secretion= water, neutral lipids, proteins, carbohydrates.
mucous secretion=compound glycoprotein's and mucopolysaccharides
Subepithelial glands
AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM(ANS)Control secretions from these glands.Supplied to max sinus from max nerve
complex.
Functions Of Maxillary Sinus
Warming/Humidification of air. Contribution to immune response i.e bactericidal
lysozyme . Lightening the skull Resonance to voice Assistance in regulation of intracranial pressure Enhance Facio-cranial resistance to shock
Nerve Supply
Nerve Supply: MAXILLARY DIVISION OF V NERVE i.e V2
1) Anterior, middle and posterior superior alveolar nerves,
2) Infra orbital nerves 3) greater palatine

GREATER PALATINE NERVE
INNERVATION
The innervation of the sinus is important from a diagnostic standpoint. Post wall of the sinus receives its supply from Posterior and Middle Superior Alveolar nerves while anterior wall is by Anterior Superior Alveolar Nerve. These nerves travel enclosed in the wall of the sinus innervating the related teeth (Wallace 1996). Thus it is commonly seen that pain of the sinus is mimicked as toothache and vice versa and is difficult to distinguish
Arterial supply Major blood supply from branches of maxillary
artery 1) infraorbital artery 2) posterior superior dental artery 3) anterior superior dental artery 4) greater palatine 5) sphenopalatineSmaller contribution from facial artery both branches of external carotid artery.
EXTERNAL CAROTID
FACIAL ARTERY
SPHENOPALATINE ARTERY
Venous Drainage
Venous Drainage: Via the Facial vein, Sphenopalatine vein anteriorly and the Pterygoid venous plexus posteriorly Anterior, middle and superior dental veins drain into the infra-orbital vein Pterygoid plexus communicates with the cavernous sinus by emissary veins
Venous Drainage
VENOUS DRAINAGE
CLINICAL IMPORTANCE
The significance of the vascular drainage of the sinus lies in the fact that apart from the joining typical pathways in the maxilla to the jugular veins, it can also drain upward into the ethmoidal and frontal sinuses and eventually reach the cavernous sinus in the floor of the brain. Spread of infections via this route is a serious complication of maxillary sinus infections

CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Developmental anomalies Agenesis( complete absence of max sinus) Aplasia( altered development) Hypoplasia(underdevelopment) Supernumerary sinus(occurrence of 2
completely separated sinuses on the same side)
CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Pituitary gigantism: sinuses larger than normal Some congenital infections: sinuses smaller than
normal e.g congenital syphilis Pathologically generated- functional and
systemic association Transfer of pathologic condition is through
Mechanical blood or lymphatic system.
Hypoplasia Maxillary sinus hypoplasia presence of three of following four
criteria: 1. oval-shaped sinus 2. absence of pneumatization of the sinus below the level of the nasal floor 3. presence of medial wall of the sinus laterally to a vertical line drawn tangentially to the medial orbital border 4. lateral extension of the sinus medial to a vertical line drawn through the middle of the orbit at the level of the infundibulum, in the coronal plane

Maxillary Sinusitis of Dental Origin : Maxillary Sinusitis of Dental Origin Spread of infection from
Periapical or Pdl. Abscess Due to overextension of Sealers, Cements, GP, Silver cones As a result Of Periapical Surgery of posterior maxillary teeth Due to iatrogenic Causes like Perforation of Sinus membrane Or breakage of Instrument
Maxillary Sinusitis of Dental Origin Spread of infection to the
sinus from a dental abscess: Commonest cause of direct spread of oral infection to the sinus is a “Periapical abscess” Odontogenic sinusitis is seldom associated with acute abscess. It is always secondary to chronic suppuration from a granuloma or a periodontal abscess
Maxillary Sinusitis of Dental Origin : Some common causes of maxillary sinusitis related to dentistry are the
iatrogenic displacement of a maxillary tooth root tip into the sinus during extraction, perforation of the sinus membrane during exodontia, andextrusion of materials used in root canal therapy into the sinus. When teethadjacent to a lone-standing molar have been removed, alveolar bone isresorbed over time mesial and distal to the remaining tooth. This resorptionresults in thinner alveolar bone separating the oral cavity and sinus. If ata later time the lone-standing molar requires extraction, the risk of alveolarbone or maxillary tuberosity fracture with concomitant oroantral commu-nication is high. Other oral and maxillofacial surgery or dental procedures,such as maxillary orthognathic surgery, preprosthetic surgery, sinusmembrane lifts and sinus grafting, and dental implant placement, haveoccasionally been cited as causing sinusitis. The incidence of sinusitis withthese procedures, when properly performed is almost nonexistent, howev
