Investigation of maxillary sinus volume relationships with nasal septal deviation, concha bullosa, and impacted or missing teeth using cone-beam computed tomography.
Oral Radiology 2019 September
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the correlations of maxillary sinus volume with nasal septal deviation, concha bullosa, impacted teeth, and missing teeth in the maxillary posterior region on maxillary sinus volume using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
METHODS: The study cohort comprised 252 CBCT images of 252 patients retrospectively selected from the records in our CBCT archive. All CBCT images were exported to 3D modeling software for calculation of maxillary sinus volumes. Nasal septal deviation cases were grouped as mild, moderate, and severe. Concha bullosa was classified as lamellar, bulbous, and extensive. Maxillary sinus volume differences were evaluated by comparing the bilateral sinus volumes in patients with nasal septal deviation, unilateral concha bullosa, and unilateral impacted or missing maxillary posterior teeth.
RESULTS: The findings revealed that males had a significantly higher mean sinus volume than females (p < 0.01) and that sinus volume tended to decrease with age (p < 0.05). In moderate and severe nasal septal deviation cases, the maxillary sinus volume was significantly smaller on the same side as the deviation than on the contralateral side (p < 0.05). There were no significant correlations between maxillary sinus volume and concha bullosa, unilateral impacted teeth, or unilateral missing teeth (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The present findings suggest that maxillary sinus volume is smaller on the same side as the deviation in moderate and severe septal deviation cases and that the maxillary sinus volume tends to decrease with increasing age.
