Objective This study aimed to assess the positional relationships between the maxillary sinus and the first and second molars in a western Chinese population by using cone-beam computed tomography. Methods This study included 212 patients (652 maxillary molars and 1956 roots). Patient demographics (sex and age) and cone-beam computed tomography data regarding the relationship between molar roots and the maxillary sinus were obtained. This relationship was stratified into four types for statistical analysis. Results Sex and side did not significantly influence the distance between maxillary molar roots and the maxillary sinus. However, the distance between maxillary molar roots and the maxillary sinus increased with age. The mesiobuccal root of the second molar was nearest to the maxillary sinus. The most common relationship type involved absence of root contact with the sinus border and presence of a maxillary sinus cross-section above the root apex. Conclusions Compared with other teeth, the maxillary posterior teeth have a complex anatomical structure and are closely related to the sinus. These findings may serve as reference information for root canal treatment, tooth extraction, dental implant, and other dental clinical procedures among patients in western China.

AbstractThe maxillary sinus is the largest of the four paranasal sinuses in humans, and its close proximity to the teeth means that caution is required during dental treatment. In particular, implant surgeries involving the maxillary posterior teeth should include evaluating the inferior part of the maxillary sinus. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences by comparing the inferior part of the maxillary sinus based on the nasal cavity floor (NCF) between patients (male 30, female 30) genders through the use of the three-dimensional (3-D) program that can facilitate 3-D visualizations. The present study results obtained from 3-D visualizations using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data showed that the inferior part of the maxillary sinus was mostly larger in males than in females. In addition, the utilization of 3-D visualization data was more likely to assure accuracy than when using data obtained by two-dimensional (2-D) imaging. Therefore, 3-D visualizations of the inferior part of the maxillary sinus will contribute to accurate analyses of its anatomical structure during implant surgery and other operations. Further studies utilizing 3-D visualization will yield useful fundamental data and guidelines for future research.

Abstract Background: This present study aims to evaluate the type of relationship between roots of maxillary posterior teeth and maxillary sinus.Methods: Cone beam computed tomography images for 148 patients were evaluated (62 males Vs 86 females). A total of 1052 teeth were examined (518 maxillary premolars and 534 maxillary molars). The relation between roots tips and maxillary sinus floor were classified into four types: type 0, type 1, type 2 and type 3, vertical linear distance was measured and distribution of type of relationship in different age groups were evaluated.Results: Most of single rooted maxillary premolars showed (type 0) relationship with maxillary sinus floor (98.1%) for maxillary first premolars and (69.5%) for maxillary second premolars. In buccal roots of double rooted maxillary first premolars, (type 0) represented (98.7%). While for maxillary second premolars occurred in (50%). Type 0 still the most common appearing type in palatal roots of maxillary first premolars (92%) and in maxillary second premolars it appeared in (45.8%). In maxillary first molars, (type 0) was the most common type which appeared in 43.3%, 39.8% and 38.6% for mesiobuccal, distobuccal and palatal roots respectively. The most common appearing type in single rooted and double rooted maxillary second molars, (type 0) appeared in (50%). In mesiobuccal and distobuccal roots (type 1) appeared in 48.1% and 45.5%, respectively (most common), whereas (type 0) was seen most frequently in palatal roots (39.7%). There was increased appearance of (type 0) in older age group (>45) in maxillary molars roots with statistically significant difference (P-value < 0.001).Conclusions: Most of maxillary premolars, maxillary first molars and palatal roots of maxillary second molars were separated from maxillary sinus floor (type 0). Most of the mesiobuccal and distobaccal roots of maxillary second molars were in contact with the sinus floor (type1).

Background: Maxillary sinus and its close proximity to the oral cavity make it a common clinical concern for medical and dental practitioners. Due to anatomical complexities, it is difficult to evaluate the relation between the root apices of maxillary posterior teeth and the floor of maxillary sinus which is essential for diagnosis of sinus pathology, understanding the path of dental infection and planning of dental treatment.Aims and Objectives: To correlate the topographic relationship of the maxillary sinus floor to the maxillary posterior teeth roots as imaged by pairs of Orthopantomograph (OPG) and Digital Volumetric Tomography images (DVT).Materials and Methods: A total of 510 maxillary teeth from 85 patients were classified according to their topographic relationship to the maxillary sinus and measured according to their projection lengths on the sinus cavity using OPG and DVT modalities.Results: In cases of classification 0, 85% and in classification 1 , 55.3% cases shows similar classification in both OPG and DVT. 28.5% of cases in both imaging modalities show classification 2. Only 15.9% of teeth roots exhibits classification 3. 11.1% of cases showed classification 4.The panoramic radiograph showed a statistically significant 2.24 times longer root projection on the sinus cavity in  OPG comparison to DVT images.Conclusion: Teeth roots projecting in to the sinus in OPG, shows no vertical protrusion in to the sinus in DVT images. Hence DVT was better than OPG with measurements that were more exact and closer to anatomical reality.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.8(1) 2017 26-31
