OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine how common maxillary sinus (MS) abnormalities are and how they relate to demographics such as age and gender using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). It also sought to explore whether these sinus changes occur more frequently in patients with dental caries, periodontal disease, or both.
METHODS AND MATERIALS: In this retrospective study, 170 CBCT scans showing MS mucosal thickening (MT) were selected from a larger group of 770 images. Twenty-five images were excluded due to poor diagnostic quality or because the patients were edentulous.
RESULTS: The data revealed a higher prevalence of MT in females (50.34%) compared to males (49.6%). The age group with the highest occurrence was between 31 and 50 years, accounting for 40.68% of cases. Among those with MT, there was a notable presence of dental caries and periodontal disease. No mucous retention cysts were detected.
CONCLUSIONS: The study suggests that maxillary sinus mucosal thickening (MS-MT) is marginally more common in females and in patients who have both dental caries and periodontal problems compared to other groups.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Odontogenic conditions, such as periodontal disease and periapical infections, can significantly affect the MS. These dental issues may lead to MT, and this gives rise to mucous retention cysts, highlighting the importance of thorough dental imaging for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
