“…14,15 In contrast, in a study of 74 non-embalmed Korean hemifaces, Yang et al 13 reported that the buccofacial wall was thinner in the second molar region than in the first molar region, in agreement with the current findings. A similar observation was recently reported by Danesh-Sani et al 19 Surprisingly, Li et al 12 found that the buccofacial wall gradually became thinner from the region of the second premolar towards the region of the second molar, 5 mm from the floor of the sinus.…”

“…Neiva et al, 16 who did so using skulls, measured the thickness of the buccofacial wall of the maxillary sinus using a Boley gauge caliper in four locations (mesial, distal, apical and coronal) and reported that the mean thickness of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus was 0.91 ± 0.43 mm (range 0.5-2.0 mm). In a study of 74 Korean hemiface cadavers, Yang et al 13 removed the lateral sinus wall to measure the buccofacial wall at various marked points using a bone depth gauge. They reported thicker bone that ranged in thickness from 1.23 mm to 1.86 mm at different points.…”

“…However, the vulnerability of the Schneiderian membrane to perforation during this procedure means that it must be managed cautiously while considering the thickness of the buccofacial wall of the maxillary sinus. 11 A few studies have described the topography and thickness of the buccofacial sinus wall, 12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 but none of these have involved Southeast Asian populations.…”

The objective of this study was to measure the topographic thickness of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus in selected Asian populations. Measurements were made on the lateral walls of maxillary sinuses recorded using CBCT in a convenient sample of patients attending an Asian teaching hospital. The points of measurement were the intersections between the axes along the apices of the canine, first premolar, and second premolar and along the mesiobuccal and distobuccal apices of the first and second molars and horizontal planes 10 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm and 40 mm beneath the orbital floor. The CBCT images of 109 patients were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 33.0 (SD 14.8) years. Almost three quarters (71.8%) of the patients were male. The mean bone thickness decreased beginning at the 10-mm level and continuing to 40 mm below the orbital floor. Few canine regions showed encroachment of the maxillary sinus. The thickness of the buccal wall gradually increased from the canine region (where sinus encroachment of the canine region was present) to the first molar region, after which it decreased to the thickness observed at the canine region. The buccal wall of the maxillary sinus became thicker anteroposteriorly, except in the region of the second molar, and thinner superoinferiorly. These changes will affect the approach used to osteotomize the lateral sinus wall for oral surgery and for the sinus lift procedure.

“…Maxillary sinus augmentation is performed by using two different surgical approaches, the lateral window approach and the crestal approach [7]. Both techniques have shown acceptable results; however, the lateral window approach is still considered more predictable in terms of outcome and safety, especially for cases with minimal bone height [8, 9].…”

Objectives: Sinus floor elevation and augmentation surgery is widely used as a reliable procedure to increase insufficient bone height in the posterior maxillary area. The purpose of the present clinical study was to determine the associations between periodontal bone loss (PBL), maxillary sinus lateral bone wall thickness, age, and gender using cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: The current retrospective study consists of 716 maxillary sinus CBCT images of 358 patients. The CBCT scans were assessed to detect the relationship between lateral wall thickness and PBL. ANOVA and Student t test analysis were used to determine the influence of PBL on sinus lateral wall thickness. Results: Sinus lateral wall thickness was significantly associated with PBL (p < 0.05) at 3, 13, and 15 mm height. There was no significant association between lateral wall thickness and gender (p > 0.05). However, there was a significant association between lateral wall thickness at 3 and 13 mm and age (p < 0.05). There were significant associations between PBL and age (p < 0.001), and PBL and gender (p < 0.05). Conclusions: PBL might have an association with maxillary sinus lateral bone wall thickness. Further studies are needed to confirm this possible relationship.

The Buccofacial Wall of Maxillary Sinus: An Anatomical Consideration for Sinus Augmentation

Abstract: These observations indicate that anatomical characteristics of the buccofacial wall thickness of the maxillary sinus need to be considered when performing a window opening procedure for sinus augmentation.
