Abstract
AbstractBackgroundThe collaboration between otolaryngologists and dental providers is crucial for the planning and execution of maxillary sinus elevation (MSE) procedures, which are integral to successful dental implant placements.PurposeThis article examines the essential role of otolaryngological assessments in identifying potential sinonasal risks that could impact the outcomes of MSE.Materials and methodsA comprehensive narrative review of existing literature was conducted.DiscussionThe review underscores the importance of thorough preoperative evaluations, including patient history, computed tomography (CT) or cone‐beam CT (CBCT) scans, and nasal endoscopy, to mitigate sinonasal health risks. It details various clinical scenarios and patient assessments, emphasizing a systematic approach to diagnosing and managing sinonasal conditions proactively. The discussion reveals that while some sinus conditions may not significantly affect MSE success, conditions impacting mucociliary clearance and sinus drainage are critical risk factors requiring otolaryngological intervention. Additionally, the article introduces a grading system to assist clinicians in identifying patients who would benefit from otolaryngological evaluations prior to MSE.ConclusionThis review highlights the value of interdisciplinary collaboration and standardized protocols in enhancing the predictability and safety of MSE procedures, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
