“…The maxillary sinus changes were analyzed and classified as in previous studies [3,17] an image of density in the soft parts with circular aspect in association with their walls; (d) partial opacification: an image of density in the soft parts resulting in partial opacification but presenting regions of internal hypodensity; (e) total opacification: an image of density in the soft parts resulting in total opacification (Fig. 1).…”

“…The length of the infundibulum was measured as the distance between the center of the ostium and the uppermost point of the uncinate process in a coronal slice of the CBCT image. The ostium height was measured from the center of the maxillary sinus ostium, thus determining the distance (in millimeters) between the ostium and the lowest point of the corresponding maxillary sinus [3] (Fig. 3).…”

“…Previous studies have evaluated the significance of anatomical variations in the pathogenesis of rhinosinusitis [5,20,21]. However, there is only 1 report on sinusopathies of inflammatory origin in the ostium height or the infundibulum length of the maxillary sinus [3]. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the length of infundibulum and ostium height on maxillary sinus pathology using CBCT images.…”

“…Mucosal drainage in healthy tissue occurs via the OMC. In normal drainage and ventilation, the mucus reaches the ostium (maxillary sinus opening) and passes through a small passage that communicates with the nasal cavity (infundibulum) [2,3]. Variations that cause the narrowing of this passage have been shown to be responsible for the development of maxillary sinusitis [4].…”

“…It facilitates evaluation of the maxillofacial region with high-geometric-accuracy data, isotropic voxel values, and short scanning times [15,18]. It provides increased precision, lower radiation doses, and lower costs than CT [3,18]. Moreover, a study by Al Abduwani et al [19] showed that CBCT is an efficient alternative to standard multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) to identify sinusitis.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the length of the infundibulum and ostium height with the anatomic variations of osteomeatal complex (OMC) and sinus pathology using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: CBCT images of 204 patients (408 maxillary sinuses) were evaluated retrospectively. The height of the ostium and the length of the infundibulum were measured. The presence of maxillary sinus pathology, nasal septal deviation, Haller cells, concha bullosa, and sinus septa were analyzed. The correlation between the size of the maxillary sinus drainage system and anatomic variations was compared using the t test, Fisher’s exact test, and χ² test. The effect of tooth loss on the length of the infundibulum and ostium height was also analyzed using ANOVA. Results: The height of the ostium and the maximal septal deviation angle were found to be significantly greater in males (p < 0.05). As ostium height increased, the presence of maxillary sinus septa increased (p < 0.05). No statistically significant association was detected between other variations and the length of infundibulum or ostium height. The relationship between tooth loss and both the length of the infundibulum and ostium height were found to be insignificant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Radiographic examination, especially on CBCT images, is important for an evaluation of maxillary sinuses. here, we demonstrated a significant relationship between ostium height and the presence of maxillary sinus septa. However, it was found that nasal septal deviation, concha bullosa, Haller cells, and other sinusopathies did not have a major effect on the size of the maxillary sinus drainage system.

Analysis of risk variables for association with maxillary sinus mucosal thickenings: a cone-beam computed tomography-based retrospective study

et al. 2023

Purpose This study aimed to determine which patient-related, anatomical, pathologic, or iatrogenic variables may be directly associated with and which may have a modifying effect on the generation of maxillary sinus (MS) mucosal thickenings. Methods A total of 278 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans obtained from 114 males and 164 females were evaluated. The protocol included the assessment of 21 candidate variables, of which 18 were bilateral and 3 were unique. The relationship among the study variables and the mucosal thickenings were examined individually and adjusted for confounding using univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression models. Results The prevalence of mucosal thickenings was 71.20% at patient level and 53.40% at sinus level. The ostium height > 28.15 mm, the infundibulum length ≤ 9.55 mm, the infundibulum width ≤ 0.50 mm, along the occurrence of periapical lesions and slight-to-severe periodontal bone loss acted as strong/independent risk variables for MS mucosal thickenings. Confounding and interaction relationships between MS height and depth, and between the alveolar process type and the presence of foreign materials with respect to age stratum > 47.50 years might be also associated with the mucosal thickenings. Conclusions While increased ostium height, decreased infundibulum length/width, the presence of periapical lesions and periodontal involvement might be the foremost indicator variables for MS mucosal thickenings, there are synergistic relationships among the increased sinus height and depth as well as aging regarding atrophic/partially atrophic alveolar process status and the presence of foreign materials that may be also associated with a greater proportion of these mucosal abnormalities.
