Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the association of maxillary sinus mucosal lining thickening (MT) with different dental conditions using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.

Materials and methods: CBCT scans of 159 cases (92 females and 67 males) with a mean age of (38.30±13.69) years were collected from the patient’s database of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University, Egypt, and retrospectively evaluated. The second premolar, first and second molar were evaluated for the presence of a periapical lesion, root canal filling, periodontal bone loss, caries, and dental filling. Sinus mucosal thickening was classified into 5 grades; 1. MT less than 1 mm; 2. 1-3 mm; 3. 3-6 mm; 4. 6-10 mm and 5. More than 10mm. Results: Associations between MT occurrence and different demographic and dental variables were all statistically not significant (p>0.05). A binomial logistic regression showed that age, sex, presence of a periapical lesion, and dental caries all had a significant effect on MT occurrence (p
