The objective of this study was to assess alterations in maxillary sinus mucosa thickness and the distances between the apexes of specific teeth and the maxillary sinus base in adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with the extraction of four first premolars. Twenty-one adults, averaging 24.85 years of age, received orthodontic therapy involving the extraction of all four first premolars. Cone-beam computed tomography scans were conducted before and after treatment to evaluate changes. Notably, post-treatment scans revealed a significant increase (P= 0.044) in the distance between the apex of the second premolar and the maxillary sinus floor, with an average augmentation of 1.0141 millimeters. However, no notable alterations were detected in the distances between the apexes of other teeth and the maxillary sinus or in maxillary sinus mucosa thickness. These findings suggest that orthodontic treatment with the extraction of four first premolars may elevate the distance between the maxillary sinus floor and the second premolar apex, which provides a reference for risk assessment and surgical design of first premolar extraction during orthodontic treatment.
