Aim: To evaluate the prevalence, diameter, localization of the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) and the relationship between PSAA and the floor of the maxillary sinus and the thickness of the maxillary sinus lateral wall using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and Methods: In this retrospective study, more than 500 CBCT images were retrieved. Out of them 156 CBCT images were related to the sinus floor elevation, among which 120 CBCT images were enrolled in the study based on the inclusion criteria, and 36 CBCT images were excluded. A total of 120 CBCT images of the PSSA from 60 patients comprising 32 (53.3%) men and 28 (46.7%) women were analyzed. Statistical data were analyzed using SPSS for Windows version 22. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, frequency) were used for the analyses. Results: The ages of the participants ranged between 26 and 76 years and the mean age was 54.48 ± 10.92 years. The PSAA was detected on the right side in 95% of the CBCT scans and on the left side in 85% of the maxillary sinuses. At the first detection point (FDP) and last detection point (LDP), the mean values of the distance between the inferior border of the PSAA and the floor of the maxillary sinus were 9.54 ± 4.27 mm and 7.91 ± 4.75 mm, respectively. The mean diameters of the PSAA at the FDP and LDP were 1.36 ± 0.46 mm and 1.12 ± 0.35 mm, respectively. Conclusion: Detection of the characteristics of the PSAA by using CBCT is crucial for handling the sinus floor elevation procedures uneventfully.

Objective: To evaluate the thickness of the maxillary sinus mucosa before and after performing the elevation of the maxillary sinus floor in partially and very edentulous patients in the posterior sector using cone beam computed tomography images. Methods: Pre and postsurgical tomographic images of 31 cases were included; 24 of which were a unilateral maxillary sinus floor elevation procedure, while 7 cases involved both pneumatic cavities. Measurements were taken at the sagittal and coronal planes. All of them, perpendicular to the sinus mucosa. A retrospective analysis of cone beam computed tomography was performed and the groups were compared with the Wilcoxon test for related samples and the variables graft size, preoperative membrane thickness, age and gender with multivariate analysis. Setting the level of statistical significance p <0.05. Results: A great variability of the thickness of the sinus membrane was confirmed, both in the pre-operative and in the post-operative. It was observed that the mean values in millimeters obtained in the pre-op were 1.45 and 1.12 in the post-op. The medians showed that the membrane thickness values are more atypical and more extreme in the preoperative values (0.79) than in the postoperative values (0.94), which are more normal and uniform. Conclusion: Under the conditions analyzed, there was an absence of changes in the dimensions of the sinus mucosa in the pre and postoperative period of the tomographic images, highlighting evidence of great inter-individual variability.

Abstract Background The proximity of the maxillary sinus floor to the maxillary molar roots increases the probability of oroantral communication on conducting any surgical or endodontic procedure in the involved area. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between each maxillary molar root and maxillary sinus floor using cone beam computed tomography. Predicting the probability of protrusion of each root into the sinus will consequently predict the probability of occurrence of the oroantral fistula in a sample of the Egyptian population. Results The total number of roots located outside the sinus was 121 (35.3%), while those contacting the sinus floor were 80 (23.3%) and those intruded the sinus were 141 (41.2%). The percentage of root intrusion into the sinus in males (56.9%) was significantly (p = 0.01) higher than females (42.9%). The probability of root intrusion in the left molars (54.2%) was non-significantly (p = 0.067) higher than that of the right side (44.3%). As for the type of tooth, the second molar showed the highest probability of root intrusion into the sinus (55.3%) followed by the third molars (52.6%) then the first molars (40.9). According to the type of root, the mesiobuccal root showed the highest probability of intrusion into the sinus (50.9%) followed by the palatal root (49.1%) then the distobuccal root (47.4%). However, the difference in both type of tooth and type of root was statistically non-significant (p = 0.051 and 0.869 respectively). As for the individual root with the highest probability of intrusion, the mesio-buccal root of the right third molar is the most frequent root to intrude the sinus (71.4%) and the mesio-buccal root of the right first molar is the least frequent (22.7%). Conclusions In a sample of the Egyptian population, males exhibit higher probability of root protrusion into the sinus than females. The side and type of tooth are of higher impact on the probability of its intrusion into the sinus compared to the type of root. Left second molars are at a higher risk of oroantral communications on surgical or endodontic procedures compared to other molars due to its highest probability of intrusion into the sinus.

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.

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to measure two parameters involved in tri-dimensional implant planning: the position of the buccal and palatal bone wall and the palatal thickness. Methods Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images (Planmeca ProMax 3D) of 403 teeth (208 upper teeth and 195 lower teeth) were obtained from 49 patients referred to the Dental School of Seville from January to December 2014. The height difference between the palatal and buccal walls was measured on the most coronal point of both walls. The thickness of the palatal wall was measured 2 mm from the most coronal point of the palatal wall. Results The mean values in the maxilla were 1.7 ± 0.9 mm for central and lateral incisors, 2.2 ± 1.7 mm for canines, 1.6 ± 0.9 mm for premolars and 1.9 ± 1.5 mm for molars. In the lower jaw, the mean values were 1.3 ± 0.8 mm for incisors, 1.7 ± 1.2 mm for canines, 2.3 ± 1.3 mm for premolars, and 2.6 ± 1.7 mm for molars. In the upper jaw, more than 55% of maxillary teeth (excluding second premolars and molars) presented mean height differences greater than 1 mm. In the mandible, more than 60% of incisors showed a buccal bone thickness of 1 mm from the apical to lingual aspect. All teeth except the second premolar presented a buccal wall located more than 1 mm more apically than the lingual bone wall. Conclusions The buccal bone wall is located more apically (greater than 1 mm) than the palatal or lingual table in most of the cases assessed. The thickness of the palatal or lingual table is also less than 2 mm in the maxilla and mandible, except in the upper canines and premolars and the lower molars.
