Objective:
To explore the pathogenic factors associated with maxillary sinus mucosal thickening with Cone-beam computed Tomography (CBCT).
Methods:
From 2016 through 2020, 93 patients with periapical periodontitis or periodontitis in the maxillary posterior dental region were selected.
Results:
The preoperative thickness of the periodontitis group was significantly higher than that of the periapical periodontitis group (P < 0.05). The difference achieves statistical significance for the comparison of the thickness change with various severity of inflammation (F = 54.824, P = 0.000), the change with time (F = 312.741, P = 0.000). and the change with the interaction severity of inflammation and time（F = 86.132, P = 0.000).
Conclusions:
Patients with maxillary sinus mucosa thickening caused by periodontitis and periapical periodontitis should be extracted their infectious teeth and get thoroughly debridement. Maxillary sinus augmentation can perform favorable efforts 3-6 months after extracting teeth.
