Abstract
The aim of the study was to establish the prevalence, size and location of maxillary sinus septa in patients with a dentate posterior maxilla.
Materials and methods. The data of cone-beam computed tomography of 150 dental patients (295 maxillary sinuses) were analyzed.
Results. Maxillary sinus septa were identified in 43.3 % of patients inside 98 of 295 sinuses (33.2 %). The most common orientation of septa was medio-lateral for a number of 112 from 122 (91.8 %). Septa were most common (49.2 %) in the region of the first and second maxillary molars. The mean size of septa was 6.58 ± 3.18 mm (range 2.5–17.31 mm). Complete septa (dividing the sinus into two relatively separated cavities) were identified in 19.4 % of cases.
Conclusion. Detection of the topography of maxillary sinus septa by using cone-beam computed tomography is essential when planning sinus augmentation procedures in order to avoid unnecessary intra- and postoperative complications.
