Evaluation of maxillary sinus expansion in children due to maxillary first molar extraction

Maxillary first molar extraction for orthodontic treatment

Hans Booij, Christos Katsaros, Anne Marie Kuijpers-Jagtman, Piotr Fudalej, Christos Livas This thesis aims to study the orthodontic treatment results in patients with a Class II malocclusion (n=100) after extraction of the first upper molars. The quality of the treatment results, the influence on facial profile as well as the effect on the eruption of the upper third molars are some of the aspe...

Morphometric analysis of the relationships between the maxillary first molar and maxillary sinus floor

Objectives: To assess the relationships between the maxillary first molar and the maxillary sinus floor in a group of patients referred to a dental clinic. Methods: Ninety-seven patients were recruited for this study. The distances between the examined roots (mesio-buccal, disto-buccal and palatal) as well as furcations, and the sinus floor, were evaluated using cone beam computed tomography, a...

Ectopic Molar with Maxillary Sinus Drainage Obstruction and Oroantral Fistula

Introduction: Ectopic tooth eruption may result owing to one of 3 processes: developmentalDisturbance, iatrogenic activity, or pathologic process, such as a tumor or a cyst. In rare cases, occlusion of the sinus ostia may predispose a patient to develop a maxillary sinus mucocele. When the maxillary sinus is invaded, symptoms usually occur late in the process.   Case report: A 17 years old boy...
