Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Area of Science:

  • Anatomical variations
  • Sinus anatomy
  • Cone beam computed tomography

Background:

  • Sinus floor elevation (SFE) surgery complications are often linked to maxillary sinus membrane thickness.
  • Understanding the relationship between membrane thickness and osteomeatal complex (OMC) anatomy is vital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the relationship between maxillary sinus membrane thickness and anatomical variations within the osteomeatal complex.
  • To identify anatomical factors influencing sinus membrane thickness relevant to SFE procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 1957 sinuses using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
  • Assessment of mucosal thickness (MT), mucosal appearance (MA), ostium width (OW), infundibulum length (IL), and ethmoidal bulla diameter (EBD).
  • Recording of Haller cells (HC), concha bullosa (CB), and superior attachment of the uncinate process (UPSA); statistical analysis using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, Chi-square, and GEE models.

Main Results:

  • Mucosal thickening observed in 54% of sinuses; flat thickening most common (23.5%).
  • Ostium obstruction significantly associated with MT > 10 mm.
  • Anatomical variations like HC and UPSA types showed significant correlations with MT and ostium obstruction.

Conclusions:

  • Osteomeatal complex anatomical variations significantly influence maxillary sinus membrane thickness.
  • Pre-SFE comprehensive evaluation of OMC anatomy is recommended to prevent complications.
  • Dentists should assess the osteomeatal region during radiographic examinations for improved SFE outcomes.
