Objective: Report two cases of Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis (OMS), diagnosed exclusively by Cone Bean Computed Tomography (CBCT). Case Report 1: A 48 years-old woman referred diffuse pain across the face and upper left first molar (ULFM) with carious lesion. The panoramic X-Ray showed a periapical lesion with delimited limits in the ULFM and opacification of the left maxillary sinus (OPMS). Only in CBCT there were relationship between ULFM periapical lesion and the maxillary sinus through cortical rupture of the maxillary sinus floor, thickening the maxillary sinus mucosa (TMSM). The OMS was diagnosed as a periapical cyst invol- ving the ULFM. She was referred to endodontic treatment. Case Report 2: A 33 years-old man referred diffuse pain though the face and in upper right first molar (URFM). The panoramic X-Ray showed a bone rarefaction without limits and vertical bone loss ar...

This study evaluated the efficacy of low-level light therapy (LLLT) in the treatment of three patients with Bell's palsy (BP) and reviewed relevant literature. The first case involved a 52-year-old woman with grade V BP, who, after receiving pharmacological treatment and undergoing seven sessions of LLLT (780 nm; 70 mW; E = 9 J), improved to grade II within 21 days. The second case was a 37-year-old man who, having previously shown no response to treatment, received 24 sessions of LLLT and progressed from grade V to grade II over the course of 4 months. The third case involved a 40-year-old man who, following medication and eight sessions of LLLT, improved from grade V to grade I in 1.5 months. Overall, LLLT was found to significantly enhance facial function, aesthetics, and overall well-being in these patients within a relatively short period.
