Abstract

Background: A comprehensive understanding of the anatomy and pathology of the maxillary sinus is paramount for precise diagnosis and effective planning of dental interventions. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) offers enhanced visualization of sinus structures, thus facilitating the identification of anatomical variations and pathological conditions which are critical for surgical and dental treatment strategies.

Materials and methods: This retrospective descriptive study analyzed 200 CBCT scans, comprising 400 maxillary sinuses from patients treated at the Faculty of Dentistry University of Sarajevo. The study assessed sinus dimensions, volumes, anatomical features, their relationships with adjacent anatomical structures, and the occurrence of pathological alterations. Furthermore, the patient's gender and dental status were studied in relation to these features. The sinus measurements were performed with Sidexis 4 software (Dentsply Sirona, Germany), which is intended for precise linear measurements in three orthogonal planes.

Results: Significant differences were found in sinus width between patients with full dentition and those with partial or complete edentulism (p<0.01). Male participants exhibited larger mean sinus dimensions compared to females in all dimensions. The maxillary sinus floor was inferior to the nasal floor in 91.5% of cases. Various types of sinus membrane abnormalities were observed, with normal membrane thickness in 53.75% of cases. Sinus septa were most frequently located on the roof of the sinus, and their frequency varied significantly among patients with different dentition statuses. The study also identified 274 Haller cells and documented several pathological changes, with mucosal thickening exceeding 3 mm being the most common alteration.

Conclusion: This radiographic study of Bosnian and Herzegovian population revealed significant anatomical variations and pathological changes in maxillary sinuses, thus emphasizing the importance of careful preoperative evaluation using CBCT for surgical planning in the posterior maxillary area. The findings highlight gender-based differences in sinus volumes, the impact of dentition status on sinus anatomy, and the prevalence of various pathological conditions, thus contributing to valuable insights in the field of maxillofacial radiology.

CBCT对上颌窦解剖和病理的评估:一项回顾性描述性研究。
背景:全面了解上颌窦的解剖和病理对准确诊断和有效规划牙科干预至关重要。锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)增强了鼻窦结构的可视化,从而促进了解剖变异和病理状况的识别,这对外科和牙科治疗策略至关重要。材料和方法:本回顾性描述性研究分析了在萨拉热窝牙科大学接受治疗的患者的200个CBCT扫描,包括400个上颌窦。该研究评估了鼻窦的尺寸、体积、解剖特征、与邻近解剖结构的关系以及病理改变的发生。此外,研究了患者的性别和牙齿状况与这些特征的关系。使用Sidexis 4软件(Dentsply Sirona, Germany)进行鼻窦测量,该软件用于在三个正交平面上进行精确的线性测量。结果:全牙列患者与部分全牙列患者或全牙列患者的鼻窦宽度存在显著差异(p结论:波黑人群的x线摄影研究显示上颌鼻窦的解剖差异和病理改变,因此强调了在上颌后区域进行手术计划时使用CBCT进行仔细术前评估的重要性。研究结果强调了鼻窦体积的性别差异,牙列状态对鼻窦解剖的影响,以及各种病理情况的患病率,从而为颌面放射学领域提供了有价值的见解。
