The maxillary sinus is the largest of the four paranasal sinuses and, being anatomically adjacent to the dentate region of the maxilla, is commonly a source of problems - not simply in terms of conditions affecting the sinus but also in establishing an accurate diagnosis. As anyone who has suffered both sinusitis and a dental abscess in the posterior maxilla will tell you, the symptoms are almost indistinguishable. For this reason, a sound understanding of the maxillary sinus is an essential requisite for all dentists.
上颌窦是四个鼻旁窦中最大的一个，由于其在解剖学上与上颌骨的齿状区域相邻，它通常是问题的根源——不仅在影响鼻窦的病症方面，而且在进行准确诊断方面。任何在上颌后部同时患过鼻窦炎和牙脓肿的人都会告诉你，症状几乎难以区分。因此，对所有牙医来说，对上颌窦有充分的了解是一项必不可少的要求。
