Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: An Accurate Diagnostic Tool in Dental Practice for Evaluation of Anatomic Variations in Maxillary Bone Septa

CBCT images: an important tool in the analysis of anatomical variations of maxillary sinus related to Underwood septa features

“…In total, 246 septa were found in 144 patients. Overall, at least one septum was present in 72% the cases, which is different from the results of other authors, who found at least one septum in the range from 21.58% to 50.1% [8,16,17]. In our opinion, the low incidence of septa in the study by Shibli et al can be explained by the fact that only edentulous patients were studied.…”

“…These data are in contrast with other reports where the frontal orientation prevails, but the presence of dentition is not considered by the authors a factor influencing the orientation of the septa [14,21]. Our results are in agreement with the studies of Souto et al [17], in which the authors reported higher incidence of axial orientation, but further distinguished between partially and completely edentulous patients. In our opinion, such discrepancies could potentially be attributed to early loss of teeth in the distal portions of the maxilla.…”

“…In recent years, studies using CBCT scans of the facial region have contributed immensely to the population metric database toward forensic applications. [10][11][12] The osteometric parameters analyzed in our study were gonial angle (GA), ramus length (RL), minimum ramus breadth (mRBr), gonian-gnathion length (GGL), bicondylar length (BiCBr), and bigonial breadth (BiGBr) of the mandible. Osteometric mandibular measurements with the same parameters were first recorded in the Egyptian population by Kharoshah et al using spiral CT scanning.…”
