Introdouction: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning is a technological innovation developed in recent years with potential use in oral surgery and many other dental procedures. The aim of this study is to determine the maxillary sinus mucosal thickening in the maxillary premolar-molar area using the CBCT technique. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 105 c...

BACKGROUND Although mucosal thickening is the most common radiographic finding observed regarding sinus pathology, the knowledge regarding its clinical significance on the outcomes of dental implants and grafting in the maxillary sinuses is still limited. We hypothesized that mucosal thickening would not alter the predictability for sinus floor augmentation and dental implant placement. The pur...

One hundred twenty-eight patients were examined prospectively to determine the significance of mucosal thickening seen in the paranasal sinuses during routine MR imaging of the brain. On the basis of responses to a questionnaire, each patient was categorized as symptomatic (n = 60) or asymptomatic (n = 68) for paranasal sinus disease. Patients were categorized further on the basis of the maxima...

statement of the problem: anatomic variation can potentially impact the surgical safety. purpose: the purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence of ostiomeatal complex variations based on cone beam computed tomography (cbct) images of the patients seeking rhinoplasty. materials and method: in this cross-sectional study, cbct images of 281 patients including 153 female an...

objectives: new digital two-dimensional imaging systems are considered as an easily accessible modality for sinonasal evaluation. the aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic efficacy of digital waters’ and caldwell’s radiographic views for evaluation of sinonasal area. materials and methods: a total of 273 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this descriptive-analy...

INTRODUCTION Inflammatory diseases of the maxillary sinus favour the thickening of the sinus mucosa. Therefore, it might be possible to establish a radiological, pathological threshold of mucosal thickening. Furthermore, there is an association between common anatomic variants of the nose and maxillary mucosal thickening. AIM To define the pathological thickening of maxillary sinus mucosa and...

AIM Pituitary apoplexy is an infrequent but potentially devastating complication in patients with pituitary adenomas. Previous studies have cited an association between MR visualized sphenoid sinus mucosal thickening and apoplexy. However, uncertainties still remain on the significance and temporal association of this finding with pituitary apoplexy. We provide a clinical study that better deli...
