Abstract
The anatomy of the maxillary sinus has been widely analysed over the last few years, specifically when it comes to its vascular anatomy, relationship to the teeth, and alveolar process. In fact, surgical procedures require the most accurate knowledge of anatomical structures, facilitated by the use of some state-of-the-art imaging technologies such as the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Such systems are constantly evolving in terms of quality, definition, image detail, and accuracy. This review aims to analyse the international literature of the last decade that has dealt with the topic of sinus anatomy, especially looking at the presence, percentage and localization of Underwood’s septa, with the aim of supporting dentists to diagnose these anatomical structures in as much detail as possible and to perform surgery in this area with greater confidence.
期刊介绍:
The Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, founded in 1901 by Giulio Chiarugi, Anatomist at Florence University, is a peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the Italian Society of Anatomy and Embryology. The journal publishes original papers, invited review articles, historical article, commentaries, obituitary, and book reviews. Its main focus is to understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development and evolution. Priority will be given to studies of that clearly articulate their relevance to the anatomical community. Focal areas include: experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology and on the application of modern imaging techniques; comparative functional morphology; developmental biology; functional human anatomy; methodological innovations in anatomical research; significant advances in anatomical education. Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy are appropriate only if they communicate clearly a broader functional or evolutionary significance. All papers should be submitted in English and must be original works that are unpublished and not under consideration by another journal. An international Editorial Board and reviewers from the anatomical disciplines guarantee a rapid review of your paper within two to three weeks after submission.
