“…To perform surgical interventions in implant dentistry such as sinus lifting, a profound information of the anatomy of the posterior maxillary region is important (24,25). The majority of septa detected in the present study were complete, and located on the floor of the maxillary sinus in the molar region.…”

Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence of maxillary sinus septa (MSS) in a Turkish population, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).  Methodology: The CBCT images of 350 untreated patients (178 male, 172 female ranging in age between 18 and 65) were included in this study. The presence or absence of MSS was determined in axial, sagittal, and coronal planes by considering gender and side. For statistical evaluation, a chi‐square test was used to determine any differences in the prevalence of MSS with significance set at 5%. Results: MSSs were observed in 201 out of 700 sides (28.71%) and 141 out of 350 patients (40.28%), of which, 70 were in males and 71 in females. MSS were also observed in a higher prevalence on the bilateral side. (17.14%). Female patients showed higher prevalence (41.27%) than the male patients (39.32%). Conclusion: MSS was observed in 40.28% of examined Turkish subjects and detected more frequently in females and on the bilateral side. How to cite this article: Laçin N, İzol BS.

“…19 It is superior to panoramic imaging and other two-dimensional (2D) conventional methods for the evaluation of maxillo-facial anatomical structures. 20 A study has shown significant differences in the diagnosis of MRC using CBCT and panoramic images. 15 Five out of 28 MRCs detected on CBCT sections had not been observed on panoramic radiographs in their study, which could be considered as a limitation of panoramic imaging as the entire length of MS is not displayed.…”

“…Meanwhile, in another study that used CBCT, the incidence was 21.4%. 20 In studies using panoramic imaging, the reported frequency of MRCs was between 5.1% and 14%, which may exhibit a large variability and might be correlated to technical radiologic factors, such as imaging method (2D or 3D), field of view applied, and aspect of the visualized MS. 24 In the present study, MRCs were found more frequently in men than in women. However, similar to the results of a previous study that used panoramic images of 173 orthodontic patients, 23 the difference was not statistically significant.…”

“…12,13 The use of CBCT technology in clinical practice offers several advantages for maxillofacial imaging compared with conventional CT just as easier image acquisition, greater image accuracy facilitated by high-quality bony definition, multiplanar reformation, lower radiation doses, faster scan times, and a less expensive machine. [14][15][16] There have been many studies on anatomic variations, morphologic Evaluation, location, and anterior loop of the MF. [17][18][19] Nevertheless, there are few studies on the MFD.…”
