“…In a different population, Turkey, using a more advanced modality, CBCT, this was found to be as high as 65.8%, as reported by İlgüy et al [ 29 ]. ; this indicates that geographical factors and potentially distinct population as well as the imaging modality revealed significant variations [ 30 ].…”

Objectives This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of Zygomatic Air Cell Defects (ZACD) among pediatric and adolescent populations in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Materials and methods A cross-sectional retrospective study was conducted, utilizing digital panoramic radiographs of dental outpatients aged 6 to 18 years. The data were collected from registered digital databases of dental clinics in Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia, and an oral and maxillofacial radiology center in Sana’a, Yemen, covering the period from July 2018 to September 2022. The radiographs were evaluated based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and ZACD was assessed using standardized descriptions. Statistical analysis, including logistic regression, was employed to examine the impact of the associated factors. Results The study encompassed a total of 3,169 participants, revealing an overall ZACD prevalence of 28.5%. Age emerged as a significant predictor (p ≤ 0.0001), with the likelihood of ZACD increasing as the age of the individual advances. Gender and geographic region did not exhibit statistically significant differences in ZACD prevalence. Conclusion This study provides crucial insights into the prevalence of Zygomatic Air Cell Defects among pediatric and adolescent populations in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. It underscores the prevalence of ZACD and the notable influence of age on its occurrence. Additionally, the research challenges prior notions of gender and regional variations in ZACD prevalence, emphasizing the complexity of the factors involved. Early detection is essential to avoid unwanted complications during any surgical intervention in this area.

“…Prevalence, when studied using conventional radiographs varies between 1.03% and 3.42%. 5 When CBCT was used to investigate this entity, the prevalence ranged from 6.4% to 8 %. 6,7 This indicates that the chances of visualizing this variant on a commonly employed radiographic investigation are still santy.…”

Mastoid Temporal bonePanoramic radiography a b s t r a c t Dental panoramic radiograph serves as a radiograph to visualize the maxillae, the mandible and the surrounding structures fairly well. This radiograph depicts the normal anatomy as well as its variations. One among the many anatomical landmarks and their variations noted on this radiograph is the zygomatic air cell defect (ZACD). zygomatic air cell defect is the extension of mastoid air cells into the articular eminence and the zygomatic process of temporal bone, not crossing anteriorly, the zygomatico-temporal suture.This variant of normal anatomy was recognized as early as 1934 but recognition of the same on a dental panoramic radiograph was not until 1985 by Tyndall and Matteson.Following its recognition, a few case reports and systematic studies have been conducted.In spite of its recognition early in the century, not many anatomists, radiologists are aware of this entity and its importance.
