Sinus floor augmentation (SFA) is one of the techniques that has been proposed for improving the long-term retention of dental implants. The procedure involves the creation of a submucoperiosteal pocket in the floor of the maxillary sinus for placement of a graft consisting of autogenous, allogenic, or alloplastic material. Complications of the SFA predominantly consist of disturbed wound heali...

Maxillary sinus hypoplasia (MSH) is an uncommon abnormality of paranasal sinuses noted in clinical practice. Computed tomography (CT) scan helps in diagnosing the anomaly along with any anatomical variation that may be associated with it. MSH is usually associated with other anomalies like uncinate process hypoplasia. Three types of MSH have been described. Type 1 MSH shows mild maxillary sinus...

Abstract Introduction: Estimating the appropriate time for orthodontic treatment is a crucial factor. Given the earlier maturation of sinuses rather than maxillomandibular growth, finding the exact relationship between the growth of the jaws and frontal sinuses is considered to be a helpful element in Orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study, conduc...

Craniofacial osteomas may be located either superficially or intraosseously on any bone of the cranium or face or within a paranasal sinus. Osteomas within the paranasal sinus account for 0.01% to 0.43% of patients; of these, up to 80% occur in the frontal sinus. An osteoma of maxillary sinus is extremely rare. We describe a rare case of osteoma of a 56-year-old Asian woman in the maxillary sinus.

Objective: To investigate the sinus swelling side effect on maxillary sinus cyst of nasal mucosa cilia. Methods: 34 cases of maxillary sinus cyst patients (treatment group), mean age (25.5 ± 2.2) years old; the control group was 30 healthy persons, the average age was(31.8 ± 9.1), treatment group oral sinus Xiaozhong decoction, and the control group before treatment, 30 days to observe the vari...

Introduction: Ectopic tooth eruption may result owing to one of 3 processes: developmentalDisturbance, iatrogenic activity, or pathologic process, such as a tumor or a cyst. In rare cases, occlusion of the sinus ostia may predispose a patient to develop a maxillary sinus mucocele. When the maxillary sinus is invaded, symptoms usually occur late in the process.   Case report: A 17 years old boy...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diameter, relationship and position of the posterior superior alveolar artery and its relationship with the alveolar ridge, the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, the prevalence of pathologic conditions and the maxillary sinus septa on CBCT images. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 200 CBCT images (400 maxillary sinuses) of patients o...

Background: Over the past decade, the indications of endoscopic surgery had been applied to the selected cases of malignant tumors. The acceptable morbidity and outcomes suggested that this technique could be available for the management of sinonasal malignant tumors. Objectives: To present our initial experience with the novel technique, modified transitional endoscopic maxillary, improve meth...

PURPOSE The aims of this study were to measure the distance of the intraosseous vascular anastomosis in the anterolateral wall of the maxillary sinus from different reference points, and to correlate the location of the intraosseous vascular anastomosis with the tooth position and the residual bone height of the maxilla. METHODS Computed tomography (CT) images were taken from 283 patients und...
