“…The artery was observed in 89.3% of the sinuses and was mostly intraosseous (71.1%). The success rate for identifying the artery was higher than that reported by Güncü et al 13 (64.5%), Elian et al 14 (52.9%), Mardinger et al 15 (55%), and Kim et al 16 (52%). This may be related to the methods the other groups used to detect and describe the artery.…”

“…1,2 We observed a shorter distance than in these anatomic studies. The differences may be due to the small number of cases evaluated with CT in previous studies as reported by Güncü et al 13 (18 mm), Elian et al 14 (16.4 mm), Mardinger et al 15 (16.9 mm), and Kim et al 16 (18.9 mm). Our current results are close to those of these studies.…”

“…The mean distance from the artery to the antral floor was 9.29 mm in females and 8.66 mm in males. This distance reported by Güncü et al 13 was 7.8 ± 0.3 mm and by Mardinger et al 15 was 7-8 mm. These differences may be explained by the anatomic variation in the positions of arteries.…”

“…17 According to our current results, the mean artery diameter was 0.94 ± 0.26 mm. However, Güncü et al, 13 Ella et al, 7 and Kim et al 16 reported larger diameters of 1.3 mm, 1.2 mm, and 1.52 mm, respectively. Similarly, in anatomic studies, the diameter was reported to be 1.6 mm at the exit from the maxillary artery.…”

“…1,2 In our study group, artery diameter was generally ≤ 1 mm (68.9%). Güncü et al 13 reported that only 36.1% of arteries were ≤ 1 mm, Mardinger et al 15 reported that 26% of sinuses have vessels ≤ 1 mm, and Kim et al 16 detected 13.9% of vessels with diameters < 1 mm. We found that the artery was ≥ 1 mm in 31.1% of patients, which may suggest that the in- cidence of intense bleeding during a sinus augmentation is low.…”

Evaluation of the posterior superior alveolar artery and the maxillary sinus with CBCT Abstract: Assessment of the maxillary sinus anatomy before sinus augmentation is important for avoiding surgical complications, because of the close anatomical relationship between the posterior maxillary teeth and the maxillary sinus. The posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) is the branch of the maxillary artery that supplies the lateral sinus wall and overlying membrane. We evaluated the location of the PSAA and its relationship to the alveolar ridge and maxillary sinus using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The study group consisted of 135 CBCT scans (270 sinuses) obtained from the archive of the dentomaxillofacial radiology department at Yeditepe University Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul, Turkey. The distance between the lower border of the artery and the alveolar crest, bone height from the sinus floor to the ridge crest, distance from the artery to the medial sinus wall, and the diameter and location of the artery were determined. The occurrence of septa and pathology were recorded from CBCT scans. The PSAA was observed in 89.3% of sinuses, and 71.1% of arteries were intraosseous with diameters mostly ≤ 1 mm (68.9%). The prevalence of sinus septa was 55.2%, and that of sinus pathology was 57.4%. The mean age was 43.07 ± 17.55 years. There was a statistically significant difference between the location of the artery and gender (p < 0.05). The prevalence of sinus membrane thickening was 57.4%. Detailed knowledge about the location of the PSAA and sinus morphology may be obtained with CBCT before maxillary sinus surgery.

There are no available detailed data on the three-dimensional courses of the human superior alveolar nerves and vessels. This study aimed to clarify the relationships of the maxillary sinus with the superior alveolar nerves and vessels using cone-beam computed tomography (CT) combined with l-CT and histological analyses. Digital imaging and communication in medicine data obtained from the scanned heads/maxillae of cadavers used for undergraduate/postgraduate dissection practice and skulls using cone-beam CT were reconstructed into three-dimensional (3D) images using software. The 3D images were compared with l-CT images and histological sections. Cone-beam CT clarified the relationships of the maxillary sinus with the superior alveolar canals/grooves. The main anterior superior alveolar canal/groove ran anteriorly through the upper part of the sinus and terminated at the bottom of the nasal cavity near the piriform aperture. The main middle alveolar canal ran downward from the upper part of the sinus to ultimately join the anterior one. The main posterior alveolar canal ran through the lateral lower part of the sinus and communicated with the anterior one. Histological analyses demonstrated the existence of nerves and vessels in these canals/grooves, and the quantities of these structures varied across each canal/groove. Furthermore, the superior dental nerve plexus exhibited a network that was located horizontally to the occlusal plane, although these nerve plexuses appeared to be the vertical network that is described in most textbooks. In conclusion, cone-beam CT is suggested to be a useful method for clarifying the superior alveolar canals/grooves including the nerves and vessels. Anat Rec,
