Abstract

Introduction: Sinus mucosal thickness and maxillary sinusitis can be caused by several predisposing factors. Some studies indicate that sinusitis may be of odontogenic origin and correspond to 10 to 12% of maxillary sinusitis. Objective: To assess the odontogenic conditions of the maxillary posterior teeth and their proximity to the maxillary sinus (SM) and correlate them with mucosal thickness of the SM, using cone beam computed tomography images. Methodology and resources: CBCT images of 393 patients aged between 18 and 75 years were analyzed, observing aspects such as the presence of root canal fillings, periapical lesions, and the contact of the roots of the maxillary posterior teeth with the floor of the SM. Results and discussion: All results are presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). It is observed that there are statistically significant differences (p<0.001) between the variables studied, and the chance of thickness of the MS mucosa is greater in men (1.73%), 7.27% when there are the presence periapical lesions and 2.03% in the presence of endodontic treatment. Conclusion: It is concluded that periapical lesions, root canal filling and proximity of the dental roots with the floor of the maxillary sinus, interfere in the appearance of sinus mucosal thickness.
