Dentigerous cyst in maxillary sinus, especially in children, is uncommon in Malaysia. Few cases of dentigerous cyst in maxillary sinus in children have been reported in the medical literature. According to Tay AB et al, dentigerous cyst was accounted for 2.3% of the 20 most common diagnosed oral tumors in Singapore form year 1993--1997. This report illustrates a case of the dentigerous cyst in ...

PURPOSE The sinus lift procedure requires detailed knowledge of maxillary sinus anatomy and the possible anatomical variations. This study evaluated the location and prevalence of maxillary sinus septa using computed tomography (CT). METHODS This study was based on the analysis of CT images for posterior maxilla which were obtained from patients who visited Chonbuk National University Dental ...

BACKGROUND When considering dental implant rehabilitation in atrophic posterior sectors, the maxillary sinuses must be evaluated in detail. Knowledge of the anatomical variations and of the potential lesions found in these structures conditions the outcome of sinus lift procedures and therefore of the dental implants. A systematic review is made to determine the frequency of anatomical variatio...

This review analyzes articles published on the presence of septa in maxillary sinuses. An automated search was conducted on PubMed using different key words. This search resulted in 11 papers in which the presence of antral septa was assessed. These septa are barriers of cortical bone that arise from the floor or from the walls of the sinus and may even divide the sinus into two or more cavitie...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between the maxillary sinus floor and the maxillary posterior teeth root tips using dental cone-beam CT. METHODS A total of 87 right and 89 left maxillary sinus regions from 92 patients were examined using dental cone-beam CT. Images were analyzed by a specialist in oral and maxillofacial radiology. Perpendicular lines wer...

UNLABELLED The exposing of dental implant into the maxillary sinus combined with membrane perforation might increase risks of implant failure and sinus complications. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the dental implant penetration into the maxillary sinus cavity in different depths on osseointegration and sinus health in a dog model. MATERIAL AND METHODS...

The current work aimed to analyse the anatomical findings of the nasal and paranasal sinuses of the donkey by gross anatomical observation of the skull and cadaver head, cross-sections, sagittal sections and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Seven adult donkeys and ten skulls were used in this study. The donkey head had six pairs of sinuses, three paranasal; the frontal, maxillary, and sphenopa...

Dental implants can be accidentally introduced into the maxillary sinus both during and after surgical installation. Both situations are uncommon and usually induce sinusitis or others important complications.1 The aim of the present study was to report a rare clinical case of late displacement of a dental implant into the maxillary sinus, in which a Caldwell-Luc (CL) approach was performed, fo...
