Arteries of the anterior wall of the maxilla in sinus lift surgery

Cone beam computed tomography investigation of the antral artery anastomosis in a population of Central Italy

“…In a paper published by Hur et al [10], the mean distance between the intraosseous anastomosis and the cervical line was 26.9 mm at the level of the first premolar, 24.1 mm for the second premolar, 21.1 mm for the first molar, 22.4 mm for the second molar, and 23.3 mm from the maxillary tuberosity. In the Rysz et al study [16], the distance between the anastomosis and the cervical line of the first molar was 15-19 mm. In this study, the dentate and edentulous data were not distinguished, because the sample of found anastomosis was too small.…”

“…Indeed the CBCT provides accurate and reliable linear measurement for imaging of dental and maxillofacial surgery. In 2014 Rysz et al [16], found the anastomosis in 50% of his sample, using CBCT scans. Furthermore, the group focused on all type of patients than the edentulous, such as the formers.…”

“…Ilgüy et al [11] in 2013 reported measures, septa presence and that the undetection of the anastomosis on cone beam CT (CBCT) is probably caused by the small diameter. The more recent study was by Rysz et al [16] in 2014, which focused this time on adult CBCT scans. All of these authors reported different data and different methods, but all of them agree on two points: 1.…”

Detection of the posterior superior alveolar artery in the lateral sinus wall using computed tomography/cone beam computed tomography: a prevalence meta-analysis study and systematic review

“…Finally, another paper was discarded because CT scans were performed to investigate sinus disorders. 28 Ten cross-sectional studies (five Asian, 2,8,9,29,30 three European, [31][32][33] and two American 5,10 ) published during the last decade met the eligibility criteria. These reports included a total of 1647 patients and 2740 maxillary sinuses (study unit).…”

The potential clinical relevance of anatomical structures and variations of the maxillary sinus for planned sinus floor elevation procedures: A retrospective cone beam computed tomography study

“…The PSAA and IOA anastomose with one another on the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus . This anastomosis is prone to injury by the upper part of the bone incision and may restrict the dimension of the bone window during SFE surgery . The risk of such injury may be reduced by exact confirmation of the position of the arteries in relation to easily identifiable anatomical structures …”
