The Relationship

Objectives: Sinus floor elevation and augmentation surgery is widely used as a reliable procedure to increase insufficient bone height in the posterior maxillary area. The purpose of the present clinical study was to determine the associations between periodontal bone loss (PBL), maxillary sinus lateral bone wall thickness, age, and gender using cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: The current retrospective study consists of 716 maxillary sinus CBCT images of 358 patients. The CBCT scans were assessed to detect the relationship between lateral wall thickness and PBL. ANOVA and Student t test analysis were used to determine the influence of PBL on sinus lateral wall thickness. Results: Sinus lateral wall thickness was significantly associated with PBL (p < 0.05) at 3, 13, and 15 mm height. There was no significant association between lateral wall thickness and gender (p > 0.05). However, there was a significant association between lateral wall thickness at 3 and 13 mm and age (p < 0.05). There were significant associations between PBL and age (p < 0.001), and PBL and gender (p < 0.05). Conclusions: PBL might have an association with maxillary sinus lateral bone wall thickness. Further studies are needed to confirm this possible relationship.

Objective: The objective of this study was to relate the sinus ostium diameter with four known changes in the maxillary sinuses by means of cone beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), considering side and gender. Methodology: 415 CBCT scans were evaluated and a total of 328 CBCT scans from patients over 21 years of age were selected for the study. By means of corrected coronal reconstructions in positioning, an anteroposterior scan of the maxillary sinus region was performed to identify, locate, and measure the diameter of the sinus ostium on the right and left sides. Changes in the maxillary sinuses were considered: thickening of the sinus membrane, antral pseudocyst, partial veiling of the maxillary sinus and total veiling of the maxillary sinuses. Results: There was an influence of sex in the presence of sinus alterations, because in the sample, the odds (odds ratio) of men to have any sinus alteration was 2.44 times (p = 0.0002) greater than in women. In general, regardless of gender, there were no statistically significant differences between the diameters of the left (3.27 ± 1.2 mm) and right (3.12 ± 1.12 mm) ostia. There was also no relationship between age and diameter of ostia, and between age and types of changes sinuses. Conclusion: According to the results obtained, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between the diameter of the sinus ostium of the maxillary sinus and the most frequent sinus changes.

The Stability

Since the introduction of immediate implant placements, the buccal bony wall has been a major consideration for success due to its correlation with soft tissue contour and color. This report presents the stability of the buccal wall thickness of an immediately placed implant at the anterior maxilla over 10 years. Although the width of the buccal wall decreased at the 2-year post-op follow-up, it remained stable afterward according to cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) scans. Hence, this report suggests that ensuring adequate bony wall thickness with bone augmentation and fixture position may promise the longevity of the buccal bony wall and surrounding soft tissue in an immediate implant placement.

This clinical study used cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) to locate the position of the anastomosis canal in lateral wall of maxillary sinuses, and to evaluate the thickness of lateral sinus wall and the distance from the lower border of the canal to the sinus floor, which could provide surgeon with information about this anastomosis. Two hundred and forty-two (242) volumes of CBCT scans were included in this study. The distances from the lower border of the anastomosis canal to the sinus floor and from the maxillary alveolar crest to the sinus floor were evaluated in transversal plane, and the thickness of the lateral sinus wall was measured at the distance of 3, 6, 9 mm from the sinus floor and at the level of the lower border of the canal at the same plane. The canal was identified in 87.6% (424/484) of the sinus. Most canals were intraosseous, or beneath the sinus membrane. The mean distance was 9.2 ± 3.5 mm from the lower border of the canal to the sinus floor, and 10.8 ± 4.0 mm from the alveolar crest to the sinus floor. The thickness of the lateral sinus wall was 2.4 ± 0.9 mm, 1.8 ± 0.8 mm, 1.7 ± 0.7 mm, 1.8 ± 0.8 mm at the distance of 3, 6, 9 mm from the sinus floor and at the level of the lower border of the canal. The location of the anastomosis canals varied from each patient, but the distance from the sinus floor was similar in different teeth sites. The sinus floor could be an anatomic landmark of sinus floor augmentation. In order not to interrupt this canal, great care must be taken by the implant surgeon to identify this canal.
