RATIONALE: Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is a type of inflammation of the maxillary sinus mucosa which results from dental infections such as chronic apical periodontitis, periodontal infections, tooth extractions and sinus lift procedures. The first and second molars are close to the floor of the maxillary sinus followed by the premolar teeth and occasionally canine.5In the otorhinolaryngological literature, the incidence of odontogenic sinusitis has been underreported in the past, with 10-12% of OMS cases attributed to odontogenic infections. However, recent studies are suggestive of a much higher incidence i.e. 40% of all cases of CMS.\n\nPeriodontal disease has been attributed as one of the causes of odontogenic maxillary sinusitis by various studies. The studies done so far offer some limitations such as lack of a control group, lack of corelation with disease severity, not taking focal sinus thickening adjacent to the infected tooth into consideration, small sample sizes and lack of clinical correlation.\n\nThus, this study aims to determine the association between periodontal disease and maxillary sinusitis through cone beam computed tomography in an Indian subpopulation attempting to overcome the limitations of the previous studies.\n\nRESEARCH QUESTION P: Population (Patients with radiographic evidence of periodontal disease in their CBCT images) I: Intervention (none) C: Control(Patients with no evidence of periodontal disease in their CBCT images) O: Outcome (Radiographic signs of maxillary sinus changes) T: Time Frame (6 months) S: Study Design (Retrospective study) Setting in Haryana , India Is periodontal bone loss a risk factor for development of maxillary sinus changes?\n\nAIM AND OBJECTIVES:\n\nAIM To determine the association between periodontal bone loss and maxillary sinus changes through cone beam computed tomography.\n\nOBJECTIVES Primary objectives- 1.
