“…The artery was observed in 89.3% of the sinuses and was mostly intraosseous (71.1%). The success rate for identifying the artery was higher than that reported by Güncü et al 13 (64.5%), Elian et al 14 (52.9%), Mardinger et al 15 (55%), and Kim et al 16 (52%). This may be related to the methods the other groups used to detect and describe the artery.…”

“…The mean distance from the artery to the antral floor was 9.29 mm in females and 8.66 mm in males. This distance reported by Güncü et al 13 was 7.8 ± 0.3 mm and by Mardinger et al 15 was 7-8 mm. These differences may be explained by the anatomic variation in the positions of arteries.…”

“…1,2 We observed a shorter distance than in these anatomic studies. The differences may be due to the small number of cases evaluated with CT in previous studies as reported by Güncü et al 13 (18 mm), Elian et al 14 (16.4 mm), Mardinger et al 15 (16.9 mm), and Kim et al 16 (18.9 mm). Our current results are close to those of these studies.…”

“…Collectively, these results suggest that an undetected intrabony canal in a CT scan does not exclude its existence but that it may not be visible owing to its small diameter. 15 CBCT provides accurate and reliable linear measurements for reconstruction and imaging of dental and maxillofacial structures. [7][8][9] According to Kim et al, 16 the prevalence of the PSAA differs significantly between males (64%) and females (40%).…”

“…1,2 In our study group, artery diameter was generally ≤ 1 mm (68.9%). Güncü et al 13 reported that only 36.1% of arteries were ≤ 1 mm, Mardinger et al 15 reported that 26% of sinuses have vessels ≤ 1 mm, and Kim et al 16 detected 13.9% of vessels with diameters < 1 mm. We found that the artery was ≥ 1 mm in 31.1% of patients, which may suggest that the in- cidence of intense bleeding during a sinus augmentation is low.…”

Evaluation of the posterior superior alveolar artery and the maxillary sinus with CBCT Abstract: Assessment of the maxillary sinus anatomy before sinus augmentation is important for avoiding surgical complications, because of the close anatomical relationship between the posterior maxillary teeth and the maxillary sinus. The posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) is the branch of the maxillary artery that supplies the lateral sinus wall and overlying membrane. We evaluated the location of the PSAA and its relationship to the alveolar ridge and maxillary sinus using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The study group consisted of 135 CBCT scans (270 sinuses) obtained from the archive of the dentomaxillofacial radiology department at Yeditepe University Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul, Turkey. The distance between the lower border of the artery and the alveolar crest, bone height from the sinus floor to the ridge crest, distance from the artery to the medial sinus wall, and the diameter and location of the artery were determined. The occurrence of septa and pathology were recorded from CBCT scans. The PSAA was observed in 89.3% of sinuses, and 71.1% of arteries were intraosseous with diameters mostly ≤ 1 mm (68.9%). The prevalence of sinus septa was 55.2%, and that of sinus pathology was 57.4%. The mean age was 43.07 ± 17.55 years. There was a statistically significant difference between the location of the artery and gender (p < 0.05). The prevalence of sinus membrane thickening was 57.4%. Detailed knowledge about the location of the PSAA and sinus morphology may be obtained with CBCT before maxillary sinus surgery.
