“…The study carried out by Ritter et al using CBCT showed incidental findings in the maxillary sinus was 56.3% [13]. In other study the occurrence of sinus abnormality was 46.8% [8].This may be referred to the difference in the indications of CBCT scans, which were included in the study, variation in the sampling criteria, and the effect of the climate among differences geographical areas [14].…”

“…Other study using sectional exams obtained by CT and MRI reported a prevalence of 12.4% [19]. The variations in the results among different studies may be referred to different imaging modalities, the differences geographical areas, and variation in sample size [13,20]. The opacification of the sinus was ranged from 5% to 8 % as partial and complete opacification of the sinus respectively .…”
