The maxillary sinus is in close proximity of the maxillary dentition; due to the close interaction between these two, there is a possibility of any disease process affecting one that can spread or concomitantly affect the other. This proximity may lead to foreign bodies to displace into the maxillary sinus and lead to development of infection. The signs and symptoms of affecting one structure can superimpose on the other; this can lead to diagnostic dilemmas.
上颌窦与上颌牙列相邻；由于这两者之间密切的相互作用，任何影响其中一方的疾病过程都有可能扩散或同时影响另一方。这种相邻关系可能导致异物移位至上颌窦并引发感染。影响一个结构的体征和症状可能会叠加在另一个结构上；这可能导致诊断困境。
