The aim of this study was to measure the convexity of the lateral wall of the maxillary (Mx) sinus and identify the locational distribution of antral septa in relation to the zygomaticomaxillary buttress (ZMB), in order to suggest another anatomical consideration and surgical modification of sinus floor elevation procedures. This study was designed as a cross-sectional study, and a total of 134 patients and 161 sinuses containing edentulous alveolar ridges were analyzed. The angle between the anterior and lateral walls of the Mx sinus (lateral sinus angle [LSA]), and the angle between the midpalatal line and the anterior sinus wall (anterior sinus angle [ASA]) were measured. Mean LSAs and ASAs were 105.9° ± 9.86° and 58.4° ± 6.43°, respectively. No significant difference between left and right sides was found (LSA, P = .420; right = 105.5° ± 9.27°; left = 105.5° ± 9.27° and ASA, P = .564; right = 57.9° ± 6.80°; left = 58.8° ± 6.02°). The prevalence of septa was 37.3%, and it was most frequently noted in the second molar region (32.8%), followed by the first molar (20.9%), retromolar (16.4%), and second premolar regions (14.9%). Septa were most frequently located posterior to the ZMB (49.2%), while ZMB was mostly located in the first molar region (66.4%). Narrow LSAs may complicate the surgical approach to the posterior maxilla, especially when sinus elevation should be used in the second molar region. Considering the occasional presence of antral septa, membrane elevation may be complicated when a septum is encountered during the procedure. These results suggest that 3-dimensional examination of the convexity of the Mx sinus should be performed preoperatively to choose proper surgical techniques and minimize surgical complications.

Abstract Background The presence of septa increases the risk of Schneiderian membrane perforation during sinus lift procedure, and therefore, the chance of graft failure increases. We present a safe method of managing septa and, in particular, overcoming small and palatally located septa. Methods After the elevation of the flap and the creation of a small bony window positioned anterior to the septum, the Schneiderian membrane is lifted carefully. A thin and narrow osteotome is then placed at the indentation created at the base of the septum, and mobilization of the septum is achieved by gentle malleting. The membrane is again carefully lifted up behind the septum. Results There was one small membrane perforation case in all 16 cases, and none of these patients showed postoperative complications such as implant failure, infection, or maxillary sinusitis. Conclusions This technique is useful for overcoming the problem of maxillary sinus septa hindering the sinus floor elevation procedure, leading to fewer complications.

The Mean

The aim of this study is to evaluate anatomical considerations and assess the volume of the maxillary sinus bone graft. There were sixty-three patients (eighty-three sinuses) who had taken CT scans for implant surgery. Patients included those whose height of the residual alveolar bone was less than 5 mm. The position of posterior superior alveolar artery, the thickness of the maxillary sinus wall, and the volume of the maxillary sinus according to the amount of sinus floor elevation were measured. The mean vertical distance of posterior superior alveolar artery was 11.91 ± 4.79 mm from 3.03 mm to 24.05 mm. The mean thickness of the lateral wall was 1.71 ± 0.55 mm in the range of 0.74 mm to 3.93 mm. The volume of 3 mm, 5 mm, 7 mm, and 10 mm from the sinus floor was 0.173 ± 0.11 cm3, 0.526 ± 0.25 cm3, 1.068 ± 0.43 cm3, and 2.184 ± 0.74 cm3 on average, respectively. The knowledge of the posterior superior alveolar artery position, the lateral wall thickness, and the volume of the maxillary sinus can help the clinician for sinus bone graft.
