“…These sinuses may present innumerable anatomic variations, with the most common being pneumatization of this cavity into the alveolar process, which occurs in 80% of patients. The maxillary first and second molars showed a higher prevalence of alveolar domes, particularly on the vestibular roots, followed by the third molars and second premolars ( 2 , 3 ).…”

Background The aim of this study was to assess the anatomic aspects of the maxillary sinus septa, by means of computed tomography images, in a Brazilian population. The results might be of clinical significance in sinus lift surgery planning. Material and Methods In the study, 123 computed tomographs obtained from a private radiology clinic were used. They were analyzed by a single, trained and calibrated observer in order to evaluate the presence, quantity, localizations, dimensions, orientations and different characteristics in dentate, partially edentulous and completely edentulous individuals of the sinus septa. Results Of the individuals analyzed, 26% had a septum in the maxillary sinus, with 59.6% being classified as complete, 44.2% showed prevalence for the middle region of the maxillary sinus. There was no statistically significant difference between the right and left sides ( p >0.05). Conclusions The majority of patients in the sample analyzed presented to septa in the maxillary sinuses, and when septa were present, a higher number of occurrence was noted in the middle region of the maxillary sinus. (This region is normally the choice of sinus lift surgery). There was no predilection relative to age, sex and type of dentition. Key words: Multislice computed tomography, maxillary antrum, anatomic variation.

“…Pagin et al 9 conducted using CT images, verified prevalence of the root apices protruded into the maxillary sinus in 21.1% of the first pre-molars, 22.2% of the second pre-molars, 20.3% of the first molars, 25% of the second molars, and 11.1% of the third molars. Santos xambre et al 10 was observed that the root apices protruded into the maxillary sinus in 7.75% of the first pre-molars, 19.25% of the second pre-molars, 30% of the first molars, 32% of the second molars, and 22.66% of the third molars. In present study Prevalence of alveolar domes were evaluated both right and left sides of maxillary posterior teeth.…”

Alveolar domes defined as anatomical projection of the root into floor of the maxillary sinus. Maxillary sinusitis is a disease that has a significant impact on a patient's health which may including facial pain, pain in maxilla region, toothaches, fatigue and nausea. Thus, knowing and identifying the relationship between dental roots and maxillary sinus is of utmost importance in determining proper diagnosis, planning and treatment. Material and methods: 300 digital panoramic radiographs obtained from the data base of Dept of Oral Radiology, within age group of 20-50 years. To assess the prevalence of alveolar domes in the maxillary right and left side of the posterior teeth, compare the prevalence of alveolar domes between gender and age group and to verify the difference of alveolar dome shaped phenomena between the roots. Further, chi-square test was used for statistical analysis to assess the correlation of the prevalence of alveolar domes at various teeth, gender and age group. Results: The prevalence of alveolar domes present in the right side of first pre-molars was statistically lower as compared to the other maxillary posterior teeth. No statistically significant difference was observed in the prevalence of alveolar domes between gender. Considering the alveolar domes at molar region according to roots, left side prevalence of alveolar domes in mesiobuccal root for first molar is higher compared to right side of mesiobuccal root of first molar, which is statistically highly significant. Conclusion: Prevalence of alveolar domes showed that left side of the first (64.3%) and second molars (64%) presented a greater prevalence of alveolar domes especially in the mesiobuccal roots (62%) followed by distobuccal and palatal roots. The first pre-molars presented a lower prevalence of alveolar domes.

Objectives: This study aimed to search for scientific evidence concerning the accuracy of computer-assisted analysis for diagnosing maxillofacial radiolucent lesions. Methods: A systematic review was conducted according to the statements of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Protocols and considering 10 databases, including the gray literature. Protocol was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42018089945). The population, intervention, comparison and outcome strategy was used to define the eligibility criteria and only diagnostic test studies were included. Their risk of bias was assessed by the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tool. Random-effects model meta-analysis was performed and heterogeneity among the included studies was estimated using the I2 statistic. The grade of recommendation, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) tool assessed the quality of evidence and strength of recommendation across included studies. Results: Out of 715 identified citations, four papers, published between 2009 and 2017, fulfilled the criteria and were included in this systematic review. A total of 191 lesions, classified as periapical granuloma and cyst, dentigerous cyst or keratocystic odontogenic tumor, were analyzed. All selected articles scored low risk of bias. The pooled accuracy estimation, regardless of the classification method used, was 88.75% (95% CI = 85.19-92.30). Heterogeneity test reached moderate values (I2 = 57.89%). According to the GRADE tool, the analyzed outcome was classified as having low level of certainty. Conclusions: The overall evaluation showed all studies presented high accuracy rates of computer-aided diagnosis systems in classifying radiolucent maxillofacial lesions compared to histopathological biopsy. However, due to the moderate heterogeneity found among the studies included in this meta-analysis, a pragmatic recommendation about the use of computer-assisted analysis is not possible.
