“…This finding corroborates the findings of the study of Aktuna Belgin et al; Özdemir et al and Butaric et al stated that maxillary sinus development continues into the second and third decade of life in females and males, respectively, with an age-associated decrease in volume occurring after development is completed. All these results have been confirmed by Rani et al [ 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ].…”

“…Previous studies have also examined volumetric changes in the maxillary sinus; relationships with tooth position; and orthodontic treatment-induced changes such as rapid expansion, septal deviation, and sinus pathologies, as well as examining the differences in the size and anatomy of the maxillary sinus based on age, sex, and race [ 53 , 56 , 57 ].…”

“…Regarding the maxillary sinus, the evaluations made by Aktuna Belgin et al and Dong et al underlined its importance, showing how it is a structure that can be well studied by MRI, as also pointed out by Panou et al and Özdemir et al [53][54][55][56][57].…”

An Update of the Possible Applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Dentistry: A Literature Review

This narrative review aims to evaluate the current evidence for the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a radiation-free diagnostic exam, in some fields of dentistry. Background: Radiographic imaging plays a significant role in current first and second level dental diagnostics and treatment planning. However, the main disadvantage is the high exposure to ionizing radiation for patients. Methods: A search for articles on dental MRI was performed using the PubMed electronic database, and 37 studies were included. Only some articles about endodontics, conservative dentistry, implantology, and oral and craniofacial surgery that best represented the aim of this study were selected. Results: All the included articles showed that MRI can obtain well-defined images, which can be applied in operative dentistry. Conclusions: This review highlights the potential of MRI for diagnosis in dental clinical practice, without the risk of biological damage from continuous ionizing radiation exposure.

“…This wide range of variation in the reported prevalence rates can be attributed to heterogeneity in the study design, methodology, study population, and definitions of abnormal findings. 17 20 21 In our study population, 197 (32.0%) patients had abnormal findings in the paranasal sinuses. Mucosal thickening was the most common abnormal finding, followed by retention cysts.…”

Magnetic resonance imaging study of incidental findings in the paranasal sinuses and ostiomeatal complex

Purpose This study aimed to assess incidental abnormal findings in the paranasal sinuses and anatomical variations of the ostiomeatal complex (OMC) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Materials and Methods MRI scans of 616 patients (mean age, 44.0±19.4 years) were evaluated. Prior to obtaining the MRI scans, a checklist of patients’ clinical symptoms was filled out after obtaining their consent. The Lund-Mackay classification was used to assess the paranasal sinuses and OMC. The prevalence of abnormal findings and their associations with patients’ age, sex, and subjective symptoms were analyzed by the chi-square test, independent-sample t-test, and analysis of variance. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results Abnormal findings in the paranasal sinuses were detected in 32.0% of patients, with a significantly higher prevalence in males ( P <0.05), but no significant association with age ( P >0.05). Epithelial thickening and retention cyst were the most common abnormal findings in the paranasal sinuses. According to the Lund-Mackay classification, 93% of the study population had normal sinuses (score<4). Concha bullosa and paradoxical concha were detected in 15.3% and 3.4%, respectively, with no significant association with the presence of septal deviation or Lund-Mackay classification ( P >0.05). Conclusion Considering the relatively high prevalence of abnormal findings in the paranasal sinuses, it appears that clinical symptoms alone are not sufficient to diagnose sinusitis. A more accurate strategy would be to assess radiographic images of the paranasal sinuses and use a classification system. Sinusitis should be suspected in patients receiving a high score in this classification.

“…In this study, we found a rate of 33.3% in the HIV cohort, 27% in the controls. Such a wide range of prevalence has been hypothesized to be due to varying methods, populations, and sample sizes 9,15,16 . Furthermore, there is evidence that the prevalence of incidental finding detection is more likely using high-resolution MRI sequences 17 .…”

Background: Incidental findings are a well-known complication of imaging studies done for both diagnostic and research purposes. Little is known about the rates and types of incidental findings found on brain MRI in patients with HIV infection, who may be at risk for HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND). Methods: The parent study included 108 adults with HIV infection and 125 demographically-matched uninfected controls who completed MRI and neuropsychological testing. Incidental findings were classified by the study team as vascular, neoplastic, congenital, other neurologic, or non-neurologic. Categorical measures were compared using Pearson chi-square tests; continuous measures were compared using t-tests. Results: Among participants with HIV infection, 36/108 (33%) had incidental findings compared to 33/125 (26%) controls (p = 0.248). Rates of incidental findings were significantly correlated with increasing age in both participants with HIV infection (p = 0.013) and controls (p = 0.022). We found no correlation between presence of incidental findings and sex or race/ethnicity among either cohort, and no correlation with CD4 count or HAND status for the HIV-infected cohort. Conclusions: Incidental findings were common in both participants with HIV infection and controls, at higher rates than previously reported in healthy populations. there was no significant difference in prevalence between the groups.
