Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and location of maxillary sinus septa with the help of dental volumetric tomography. Methods: 760 patients" 1520 maxillary sinus were evaluated by dental volumetric tomography for detecting maxillary sinus septa. Maxillary sinus was divided into 3 zones (anterior, middle and posterior zones) while location of the maxillary sinus septa. Results: 47 of maxillary sinus septa existed in the anterior zone (24.7%), 35 of them in the middle zone (18.4%) and 108 of them in the posterior region (56.8%). Conclusion: The formation of the maxillary sinus septa was affected by the existence or lack of the teeth. Correct detection of the presence of maxillary sinus septa was important prior to sinus lifting and dental implant surgery. Dental volumetric tomographical evaluation of maxillary sinus septa was more useful for a correct diagnosis and treatment planning.

Maksiller sinüs septumunun konumu ve yaygınlığının dental volümetrik tomografik değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, dental volümetrik tomografi yardımıyla maksiller sinüs septa konumlarını ve yaygınlığını saptamaktır. Metot: Maksiller sinüslerde septum tespit etmek amacıyla 760 hastada 1520 maksiller sinüs dental volümetrik tomografi ile değerlendirildi. Maksiller sinüsler, sinüs septumlarının konumu belirlenirken 3 bölgeye ayrıldı (ön, orta ve arka bölgeler). Sonuçlar: Maksiller sinüs septumlarından 47 tanesi (% 24.7) ön bölgede, 35 tanesi (% 18.4) orta bölgede ve 108 tanesi (% 56.8) arka bölgedeydi. Tartışma: Maksiller sinüste septum oluşumu dişlerin varlığı ya da kaybedilmesinden etkilenmektedir. Sinüs lifting ve dental implant cerrahisi işlemlerinden önce maksiller sinüslerde septum varlığının doğru tespit edilmesi önemlidir. Doğru teşhis ve tedavi planlaması açısından maksiller sinüslerde septum varlığının dental volümetrik tomografi ile değerlendirilmesi oldukça kullanışlıdır.
