Study Overview
Brief Summary
Among the most common manifestations of maxillary sinus is Maxillary Sinusitis. Since the maxillary posterior teeth’s roots are so close to the sinus floor, an infection might spread there and thicken the sinus mucosa.However, in cases where the tooth roots are too near the sinus floor, odontogenic infections may flow into the sinus. When diagnosing MS anomalies and periapical alterations, radiographs are crucial diagnostic tools.Since computed tomographic (CT) imaging can produce images in thin CT slices and many planes and can show bone and soft tissue, it is the standard imaging test for multiple sclerosis.Consequently, CBCT with advantage of lower radiation dose and better spatial resolution could be useful in identifying odontogenic maxillary sinusitis.Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between maxillary posterior teeth periapical pathologies and maxillary sinus mucosal changes using CBCT
