Investigation on the relationship of dimensions of the maxillary sinus drainage system with the presence of sinusopathies: a cone beam computed tomography study

Background: Clinicians should assess and monitor mandibular canal (MC) to achieve an uneventful and successful final result. Two dimensional techniques like panoramic radiography, intra oral periapical radiographs are commonly used for assessment of MC, along with three dimensional techniques like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).Objectives: To assess the radiologic modalities and assessment criteria used by clinically practicing dental surgeons when determining the proximity of MC to third molars.Method: A questionnaire based study was carried out among national and international oral maxillofacial surgeons and general dental practitioners. Data were fed to SPSS software version 21 for descriptive statistics.Result: Most of the participants (54.7%) in the study preferred combination of panoramic radiograph and CBCT for determining the relationship of mandibular canal and third molars measures.Conclusion: Initial screening can be carried out using panoramic radiograph which is a popular method in determining the relation between the third molar and mandibular canal in spite of some limitations. Cone Beam Computed Tomography is an important three-dimensional imaging technique which is a preferred method amongst most dental surgeons.Journal of BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Vol. 1, No. 1, 2018, page: 44-50

The Relationship

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of antral pseudocysts(AP), maxillary sinus septas(MSS) and the relationship between AP and MSS by using cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT).Methodology: The CBCT scans of 466 patients (237 male, 229 female ranging in age between 13 and 83) were included in our study. The presence or absence of AP and MSS were confirmed at axial, sagittal, and coronal sections of CBCT images by considering gender and localization. For statistical analysis, Pearson chi-square and Spearman correlation tests were used.Results: One hundred-ninety eight out of 466 (42.49%) patients had AP in the right and left maxillary sinus. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of AP between men and women (p≤0.001). The prevalence of AP was higher in men than in women. Twenty-eight out of 237 patients in men(11.81%) and 35 out of 229 patients in women(15.28%) had MSS in the right and left maxillary sinus. Conclusion: The prevalence of AP and MSS was 42.49% and 13.52%, respectively and the prevalence of MSS was lower in our study than other studies. We did not determine the relationship between AP and MSS in the maxillary sinuses. How to cite this article: Yalçın M, Laçin N.
