ABSTRACT
Objective: Due to region of maxillary sinus it is one of the region
both department of ear, nose and throat and department of oral and maxillofacial
surgery are frequently encountered relationship between odontogenic infections
and maxillary sinusitis has been shown in literature. For correct design of the lateral
window during sinus floor elevation operation, radiographic identification
of septa is important. The aim of this study is to compare cone-beam computed
tomography (CBCT) and panoramic radiography methods in determining the
presence and location of maxillary sinus septa and pathologies. Material and
Methods: This study was performed with CBCT and panoramic images of patients
in department of oral and maxillofacial surgery between September 2010
and September 2021, retrospectively. Results: In CBCT images, 64 (30%) of 214
patients and 112 (27.3%) of 410 sinuses had maxillary sinus septa. In panoramic
images, 44 (20.5%) of 214 patients and 89 (21.7%) of 410 sinuses had maxillary
sinus septa. In CBCT images, 30 (7.3%) in the anterior region, 70 (17.1%) in the
middle region, 6 (1.5%) in the posterior region and 6 (1.5%) septa located in any
2 of these 3 regions at the same time. In panoramic images 14 (3.4%), 61 (68.5%)
in middle, 8 (9%) in posterior and 3 (3.3%) septa located in any 2 of these three
regions at the same time. Conclusion: To avoid complications during sinus floor
elevation surgery, examination by computed tomography is required as panoramic
radiography has proven to have low sensitivity and specificity in identifying these
structures.

ÖZET
Amaç: Maksiller sinüs, bulunduğu bölge itibarıyla hem kulak burun
boğaz hem de ağız diş ve çene cerrahisi doktorlarının sıklıkla karşılaştığı bölgelerden
birisidir. Literatürde de odontojenik enfeksiyonlar ile maksiller sinüzit arasındaki
ilişki sıklıkla gösterilmiştir. Sinüs tabanı yükseltme operasyonu sırasında
lateral pencerenin doğru tasarımını yapmak için septanın radyografik olarak tanımlanması
önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, maksiller sinüs septası gibi maksiller
sinüs morfolojilerinin ve patolojilerinin varlığını ve konumunu belirlemede
konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi (KIBT) ve panoramik radyografi yöntemlerinin
karşılaştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışma, Eylül 2010 ve Eylül
2021 tarihleri arasında ağız, diş ve çene cerrahisi bölümüne başvurmuş hastaların
KIBT ve panoramik röntgen görüntülerinin retrospektif olarak incelenmesi
ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: KIBT görüntülerinde, toplam 214 hastanın
64’ünde (%30) ve 410 sinüsün 112’sinde (%27,3) maksiller sinüs septası tespit
edildi. Panoramik radyografi görüntülerinde ise toplam 214 hastanın 44’ünde
(%20,5) ve 410 sinüsün 89’unda (%21,7) maksiller sinüs septası tespit edildi.
KIBT görüntülerinde, maksiller anterior bölgede 30 (%7,3), orta bölgede 70
(%17,1), posterior bölgede 6 (%1,5) ve aynı anda bu 3 bölgelerden herhangi
2’sinde yer alan 6 (%1,5) septa tespit edildi. Panoramik radyografide maksiller anterior
bölgede 14 (%3,4), orta bölgede 61 (%68,5), posterior bölgede 8 (%9) ve
aynı anda bu 3 bölgelerden herhangi 2’sinde yer alan 3 (%3,3) septa tespit edildi.
Sonuç: Sinüs tabanı yükseltme operasyonu sırasında komplikasyonlardan kaçınmak
için panoramik radyografinin bu yapıların tanımlanmasında düşük bir duyarlılığa
ve özgüllüğe sahip olduğu kanıtlanmış olduğu için tercihen bilgisayarlı
tomografi ile çalışılması gereklidir.
