Abstract

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the diameter, location, and frequency of the appearance of posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA), presence of septa and pathology in maxillary sinus on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) slices. Two hundred CBCT records were included in the study. The patients were divided into dentate, partially dentate and edentulous.
Methods The diameter and type of the PSAA (intrasinus-intraosseous-superficial), the distance between the lower border of the PSAA and alveolar crest; the bone height measured from the floor of the sinus to the crest of the ridge; the distance from the lateral wall of the PSAA to the medial wall of the maxillary sinus, presence of septa and pathology were evaluated.
Results On the right side, PSAA was detected in 86.5% and in the left, 84.5%. Intraosseous type of PSAA was most common type on right (50%) and left (51.5%). The average distances between the PSAA and the alveolar crest were 17.80±3.59 mm on the right and 17.83±3.61 mm on the left side. There was no significant correlation between age and the diameter of the PSAA (p>0.05).
Conclusions The observation of PSAA on CBCT slices is high. Preoperatively CBCT imaging can prevent potential vascular damages around maxillary sinus.

Maksiller Sinüs ve Posterior Superior Alveolar Arterin Konik Işınlı Bilgisayarlı Tomografi Değerlendirmesi

Abstract

Amaç Bu çalışmanın amacı, konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi (KIBT) kesitlerinde posterior superior alveolar arter (PSAA) görülme sıklığı, çapı ve konumunu, maksiller sinüste septa ve patoloji varlığını araştırmak ve bu parametrelerin yaş, cinsiyet ve dişlenme durumu ile olası ilişkisini ortaya çıkarmaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler Çalışmaya 200 KIBT kaydı dahil edildi. Hastalar dişli, kısmi dişli ve dişsiz olmak üzere ikiye ayrıldı. PSAA'nın çapı ve tipi (intrasinus-intraosseöz-yüzeysel), PSAA'nın alt sınırı ile alveolar kret arasındaki mesafe; sinüs tabanından sırtın tepesine kadar ölçülen kemik yüksekliği; PSAA'nın lateral duvarından maksiller sinüs medial duvarına olan mesafe, septa varlığı ve patoloji değerlendirildi.
Bulgular Sağ tarafta% 86,5 ve solda% 84,5 PSAA tespit edildi. Sağda (% 50) ve solda (% 51.5) en sık görülen PSAA tipi intraosseöz idi. PSAA ile alveolar krest arasındaki ortalama uzaklıklar sağda 17.80 ± 3.59 mm ve solda 17.83 ± 3.61 mm idi. Yaş ile PSAA çapı arasında anlamlı bir ilişki yoktu (p> 0.05).
Sonuç KIBT kesitlerinde PSAA gözlenmesi sıktır. Preoperatif KIBT görüntüleme, maksiller sinüs çevresindeki potansiyel vasküler hasarları önleyebilir.
