BACKGROUND. There are not many works devoted to the structures of a nasal cavity in odontogenic maxillary sinusitis and to a condition of an alveolar ridge of the maxilla with a rhinogenous genesis of the disease.MATERIAL AND METHODS. 100 patients (N) with chronic sinusitis hospitalized at the ENT (N=50) and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (N=50) Departments were examined. The character of anatomic options of a nasal septum in chronic maxillary sinusitis is estimated according to a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with use of our own developed scheme of coordinates in the form of “triangles” which allows establishing versions of the block of the ostiomeatal complex and nasal septum deviation.RESULTS. In cases of rhinogenous and odontogenic causes of maxillary sinusitis, the triangle deviation is detected more often, including a perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone, the vomer and the quadrangular cartilage, contributing to the block of the ostiomeatal complex. This scheme has allowed us to establish a group of patients with the mixed genesis of maxillary sinusitis in the Otorhinolaryngology and MFS Departments (36% and 42% respectively) and that, in its turn, requires a cross-disciplinary approach when choosing a strategy of treatment.CONCLUSION. In case of rhinogenous genesis of the disease, the bilateral nature of the process with involvement of other paranasal sinuses in the inflammatory process is detected more often. The category of patients with mixed genesis (rhinogenous plus odontogenic) of sinusitis demands a cross-disciplinary approach to diagnosis and making a decision about treatment strategies.
