Abstract
A cross-sectional online survey was conducted from December 2020 to June 2021. The surveyed participants had different dental degrees and specialties working in government, academic sectors, and private clinics in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaires included demographic variables, professional characteristics, odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) clinical presentation, prevalence, source, symptoms, and professionals’ ability to distinguish OMS from other causative factors.
Results: 50% believe OMS is a prevalent disease. (57.6%) knew the clinic presentation of OMS. (85.7%) agreed that OMS could cause dental pain, and (65.7%) agreed that OMS does not necessarily cause dental pain. Only (34.8%) can distinguish symptoms of OMS from other causes of rhinitis. The majority (79.5%) cannot diagnose patients having maxillary sinusitis or OMS only by clinical symptoms, and (65.7%) do not think OMS necessarily causes pain. (69%)
Conclusion: Participants have adequate knowledge regarding OMS, presentation, prevalence, and source. With uncertainty to distinguish symptoms of OMS from other causative factors of rhinitis. As a result, more than half of the participants reported the need to consult Era-Nose-Throat (ENT) specialists did not attend any continuous education lecture(s)/course(s) regarding maxillary sinusitis.
