I have seen medical journal articles about fungal sinusitis being caused by the overfilling of root canals. Have you seen this?

I have done this ENT was prior to this w-ray being taken. Endontist said should be fine, but I have my doubts … maybe they just cover for each other … scared I will commence litergation of some kind. Has anyone heard of dentists covering up for each other? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Good Luck. > Tyler

maxillary sinus. Is the maxillary sinus above that tooth infected? Is the tooth (and surrounding tissue) pressure and/or temperature sensitive? In my case, the right maxillary was a mess, and pressue on the tooth would cause sharp pain. You need to see an ENT and/or an endontist. I would see an ENT to possibly scan your sinuses, and make a judgement in regards to the tooth. I have heard that endontists can be quick to advise surgery. Keep that in mind. Good Luck. Tyler

Well, we laypersons can’t diagnose you by remote control. But I have heard that about 10% of sinusitis cases are thought to be of dental origin. The maxillary sinus cavity is separated from the roots of the upper molar teeth by just a thin layer of bone. When an upper molar extrudes into the maxillary sinus cavity, it can allow infection to travel into the sinus. So if your sinusitis problems started after your bad root canal treatment, it’s certainly a prime suspect. Get a second opinion, preferably from an oral surgeon. — Steven D.

Well it will affect your sinuses. So just get it fixed and see what happens. I would be hopeful…..

Hi, I recently had an X-ray done of a possible bad root canal treatment. The theory is that this has been affecting my sinuses, eg. I have been diagnosed with sinusitis. From: http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/rodmayes/album?.dir=/ea8d&.src=ph&.t… You can see the "canal filler" extending into the sinus cavity, with some "extra filler" at the tip. Is anyone able to verify that this would be affecting my sinuses and if so, in what way? Thanks, Rod.
