Clinical Significance of Asymptomatic Sinus Abnormalities on Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Cone‐Beam Computed Tomographic Evidence of the Association Between Periodontal Bone Loss and Mucosal Thickening of the Maxillary Sinus

“…We found a higher prevalence of mucosal thickening among males and the older age group (>49 years old). This was consistent with previous reports 2,4 . The maxillary sinus of the elderly may be exposed to irritations during the lifetime, increasing the rate of mucosal thickening.…”

Evaluating the Relationship between Periodontal Bone Loss in Maxillary Posterior Teeth and Schneiderian Membrane Thickness

“…Accordingly, both MT and PBL were greater in men and in older individuals (> 60 years). These ndings are in line with prior research (9,21,30). The prevalence of MT and PBL was found to be greater in men by Sheikhi et al (13) Exposure to environmental and systemic factors for a longer period of time throughout life can be the reason for the increase in age-related membrane thickening.…”

Analysis of association between periodontal disease and thickness of maxillary sinus mucosa using cone beam computed tomography – A retrospective study

“…The mucosa could be seen only at a thickness of 2 mm or above, and therefore historically 2 mm was considered a reliable threshold for pathological mucosal swelling (Cagici et al, 2009). Previous reports have shown a positive relation of age and mucosal thickening (Iwabuchi et al, 1997, Vallo et al, 2010). In this study also, the effect of age on the maxillary mucosal thickness was investigated.…”
