Continuation of unilateral nasal discharge
The failure of dental sinusitis cases to resolve following exodontia may
be related to one of the above described alveolar disorders, but is much
more likely to be caused a residual sino-nasal problem (Dixon et
al . 2019). Such cases should have the affected alveolus examined and,
if it contains sequestrae and/or is infected, or if it has a
communication with the sinus, these disorders should be treated.
However, the more likely causes for non-response of dental sinusitis are
the presence of inspissated exudate or bone sequestrae in the affected
sinuses or intercurrent nasal disease including nasal conchal bulla
infections (Dixon et al . 2019, 2021).
