ABSTRACT
Clinical data are available on 109 patients with different forms of polypous rhinosinusitis who have undergone ultrasonic cavitation (USC) of medicinal solutions (antiseptics, antibiotics) in the course of maxillary sinusotomy. USC cleared the sinus from necrotic tissues, depressed the growth of the polyps and pathogenic microflora. Long-term results of the combined treatment were studied in 78 patients. The disease recurred in 2 (2.5%) patients.

Examination of 248 patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) has shown that most of OMS forms run a chronic course. Their clinical classification is outlined with a special emphasis on the latent form which occurs in 16.5% of the examinees. An open form of OMS was diagnosed in 51.6% of the patients. Treatment of chronic OMS is surgical in many cases: maxillary sinusotomy with upper jaw teeth examination and treatment.
