| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Introduction: Maxillary sinus due to its proximity to posterior maxillary teeth could be affected by their pathology. Since cone beam computed tomography is the go-to for 3-D imaging in dental set-up. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of periodontal lesions among maxillary sinus mucosal thickening visiting the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology of a tertiary care centre. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology of a tertiary care centre from 01 February 2021 to 30 June 2021 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. The medical records from 01 January 2019 to 31 December 2019 were retrieved. The identification of maxillary sinus mucosal thickening of more than 3 mm, in cone beam computed tomography images, was registered separately for the right and left sinuses of each patient. The presence of periodontal lesions of posterior teeth was recorded. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 195 maxillary sinus mucosal thickening, periodontal lesions were found in 74 (37.95%) (31.14-44.76, 95% Confidence Interval) maxillary sinuses of 46 patients. The mean age was 53.67±12.72 years and 30 (65.21%) were males. Conclusions: The prevalence of periodontal lesions among maxillary sinus mucosal thickening in CBCT images was similar to other studies done in similar settings. | |
