If a patient has an infection involving the maxillary incisors, which paranasal sinus could it spread to?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Maxillary sinus
Among the paranasal sinuses, the maxillary sinus is the one anatomically associated with the maxilla and dental infections in general (even though the incisor root apices are not as close to the sinus floor as the premolar/molar apices typically are) — making it the most plausible answer among the choices given, compared to the frontal or ethmoid sinuses, which are not directly related to dental infection spread.
