title: [Clinicopathological investigations of the dental diseases caused by maxillary lesions].
abstract: Clinicopathological investigations of five surgery-requiring dental diseases caused by maxillary lesions were conducted. 1) The maxillary lesions were acute maxillary sinusitis and a postoperative maxillary cyst. 2) The clinical symptom was persistent cheek pain, even though the maxillary lesions were improved and there were no lesions in the tooth crown or periodontal tissue. 3) All of the teeth with dental diseases caused by maxillary lesions had percussion pain. 4) The pathological findings of the dental diseases were ascending pulpitis and pulpal necrosis caused by maxillary lesions. 5) When patients complain of persistent cheek pain even though maxillary lesions are improved and there are no lesions of the tooth crown or periodontal tissue, we should doubt the presence of dental diseases caused by maxillary lesions (ascending pulpitis and pulpal necrosis).
