Background: Because of close association of roots of maxillary premolars and molars with maxillary sinuses, effect of periodontal bone loss on sinuses needs to be evaluated.
Objective: The current study aimed to analyze relationship between of maxillary sinus mucosal thickening and alveolar bone loss using computed tomography.
Methodology: All erupted second premolars and first and second molars in the maxillary arch bilaterally, at 12 points in each patient (mesial and distal sides of each tooth) were assessed for periodontal bone loss (PBL) and at same locations mucosal thickening (MT) was assessed on maxillary sinus floor. Furthermore, probable effect of each …
