Study Notes
Nasal Cavity and Paranasal Sinuses
- The nasal cavity is a pathway for air to the lungs, and it also houses the sense of smell. It warms and humidifies the air. It also receives secretions from the paranasal sinuses and nasolacrimal duct.
Objectives
- Understand the anatomy of the nasal cavity.
- Understand the anatomy of the paranasal sinuses and their dental implications.
Nasal Cavity
- The nasal cavity is closely related to dental procedures.
- A patient might experience the escape of blood and fluids from the nostril after extracting a molar, implying a connection between the oral cavity and sinus.
Functions of the Nose
- Airway for lungs
- Sense of smell (olfaction)
- Filters impurities from inspired air
- Warms and humidifies inspired air
- Aids in phonation
- Receives secretions from paranasal sinuses
- Receives secretions from the nasolacrimal duct
Bony Framework
- Nasal bone
- Frontal process of the maxilla
- Nasal process of the frontal bone
Bony Framework: Nasal Bone
- Two nasal bones form the bridge of the nose, longer than wide,
- Superior border articulates with the nasal part of the frontal bone,
- Inferior border forms the superior boundary of the anterior nasal opening,
- Lateral border meets the frontal process of the maxilla,
- Medial border meets its fellow in the midline.
Bony Framework: Frontal Process of the Maxilla
- Projects postero-superiorly from the body of the maxilla
- Located between the nasal bone in front and the lacrimal bone behind.
- Articulates apically with the frontal's nasal part,
- Anterior border with the nasal bone,
- Posterior border with the lacrimal bone.
Bony Framework: Nasal Process of the Frontal Bone
- A small, thin plate of bone,
- Projects antero-inferiorly in the midline between the supra-orbital margins,
- Forms part of the roof of the nose.
Cartilaginous Framework
- Lateral superior nasal cartilage
- Greater lower nasal cartilages
- Minor alar cartilages
- Septal nasal cartilages
Lateral Superior & Greater Nasal Cartilages
- Support lateral surfaces of the external nose.
- Triangular plates joined in the midline with each other and the septal cartilage.
Minor Alar Cartilages
- Located at the back of the major nasal cartilages,
- Embedded in fibrous tissue connected to the maxilla.
- Maintain patency of the anterior nares (nostrils).
Septal Nasal Cartilages
- Form the lower part of the external nose in the midline.
- Quadrangular shape, fitting into a notch between the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone and the vomer.
- Attached to the nasal crest of the maxilla and the anterior nasal spine.
- The columella is the apex of the cartilage and the tip of the septum.
External Nose
- Composed of nasal bone, lateral cartilages, septal cartilage, lesser alar cartilages, greater alar cartilages, and dense connective tissue.
Nasal Cavity: Walls and Septum
- The nasal cavity is divided into two halves by the osseocartilaginous nasal septum.
- Each half possesses a floor, roof, lateral wall, and medial (septal) wall.
Floor of the Nasal Cavity
- Palatine process of the maxilla,
- Horizontal plate of the palatine bone (forming the hard palate).
Roof of the Nasal Cavity
- Formed by a combination of nasal cartilages, nasal, frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones.
Nasal Septum
- Divides the nasal cavity into halves.
- Consists of osseous and cartilaginous parts. Specifically, components include the perpendicular plate of ethmoid and vomer bones, and septal cartilage.
Lateral Walls of Nasal Cavity
- Characterized by three projections called nasal conchae (or turbinates).
- Superior, middle, and inferior conchae.
- The area below each concha is called a meatus (passageway).
Superior, Middle, and Inferior Meatuses
- Air passageways under each concha.
Paranasal Sinuses
- Four pairs of air-containing spaces around the nasal cavities: maxillary, frontal, sphenoid, and ethmoid.
- Lined by respiratory mucosa with ciliated columnar epithelium.
Maxillary Sinus
- First paranasal sinus to develop,
- Growth ends with the eruption of the third molars (about 20 years old).
- Pyramidal shape, located laterally to the nasal cavities.
- Apex near the zygomatic bone.
- Roof is part of the orbit's floor, containing the infraorbital canal and nerve/vessels.
- Floor is formed by the alveolar process and part of the palatine process of the maxilla, relating to teeth's roots.
- Anterior wall is the facial surface of the maxilla.
- Posterior wall is the infratemporal surface, with canals for the posterior superior alveolar nerve and vessels.
- Medial wall has the ostium (opening) into the middle nasal meatus.
Ethmoid Sinus
- Two paranasal sinuses within the ethmoid bone, consisting of ethmoidal air cells.
- Located between the nasal cavities and orbits, separated by thin bony laminae.
Sphenoid Sinus
- Two sinuses situated within the body of the sphenoid bone.
- Vary in size and shape due to the lateral displacement of the intervening septum.
Frontal Sinus
- Funnel-shaped cavities within the frontal bone.
- Located above and behind the superciliary arches.
- May extend into the medial part of the orbital roof.
Functions of Paranasal Sinuses
- Humidify and warm inspired air,
- Regulate intranasal pressure,
- Increase surface area for olfaction,
- Lighten the skull,
- Enhance resonance,
- Absorb shock.
Clinical Implications of Maxillary Sinus Pneumatization
- Difficulty placing implants,
- Bone structure changes possible causing communication with the oral cavity.
- Sinus infection transmission, tooth damage potential.
Measurements (Table for teeth proximity to sinus)
- Measurement values presented in a table.
Ethmoid Air Sinus: Summary, Sphenoid Air Sinus: Summary, and Frontal Sinus: Summary
- Summarized data and characteristics for each sinus.
