Evaluation of alveolar pneumatization in maxillary sinus and related factors by panoramic and CBCT imaging methods

Aim: Sinus pneumatization; is a physiological process that increases the volume of sinus. In dentistry, evaluation correctly of presence the alveolar pneumatization of maxillary sinus and relations between tooth root and the sinus floor is important because of prevent possible complications in dental treatments to be applied to posterior region. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of usually preferred panoramic radiography in dental clinics; in detecting alveolar pneumatization and the relations between dental roots and sinus floor compared to CBCT. Additionally, the aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of pneumatization in the Turkish sub-population and possible associations with sinus pathologies with CBCT imaging. Materials and Method: 600 maxillary sinus images were examined with 'panoramic radiography and CBCT’. In the maxillary sinuses; alveolar pneumatization, mucosal thickening and the presence of other pathologies and the relations between posterior tooth roots and sinus floor were recorded. Conclusions: Alveolar pneumatization in 81.3% of patients, mucosal thickening in 63% and other pathologies in 31.7% of patients was found. There was a statistically significant difference between age groups in terms of pneumatization and relation between tooth root and sinus floor (p

Maksiller sinüste alveolar pnömatizasyon ve ilişkili faktörlerin panoramik ve kıbt görüntüleme yöntemleri ile değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Sinüs pnömatizasyonu; sinüs hacmini artıran fizyolojik bir süreçtir. Diş hekimliğinde, maksiller posterior bölgeye uygulanacak dental tedavilerde, maksiller sinüste alveolar pnömatizasyon varlığının ve diş köküsinüs ilişkisinin doğru bir şekilde değerlendirilmesi olası komplikasyonların önüne geçeceğinden dolayı önemlidir. Bu yüzden bu çalışma, klinikte sık tercih edilen panoramik görüntülemenin, konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografiye (KIBT) kıyasla alveoler pnömatizasyon ve diş kökü- sinüs ilişkisini belirlemedeki sensitivite, spesifite ve tanısal doğruluk değerini tespit etmeyi amaçlamıştır. Ayrıca, bu çalışmanın amacı KIBT görüntüleme ile, Türk sub-populasyonundaki pnömatizasyon prevalansı ve alveoler pnömatizasyonların sinüs patolojileriyle ilgili olası ilişkilerini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: 600 maksiller sinüs görüntüsü panoramik radyografi ve KIBT ile incelendi. Maksiller sinüslerde alveolar pnömatizasyon, mukozal kalınlaşma ve diğer patolojilerin varlığı ile posterior diş kökleri ile sinüs tabanı arasındaki ilişki kaydedildi. Bulgular:Hastaların %81,3’ünde alveolar pnömatizasyon, %63’ünde mukozal kalınlaşma ve %31,7’sinde diğer patolojiler tespit edildi. Yaş grupları arasında pnömatizasyon ve diş kökü-sinüs ilişkisi açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık (p
