Radiography\u2010based indices can help surgeons perform detailed examinations of the surgical site and predict the surgical difficulty of cases. We aimed to develop and validate a novel CBCT\u2010based index that can predict the surgical difficulty of sinus\u2010augmentation procedures. <jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>. In the first stage, five experienced dental specialists performed a review of the literature and closed group discussions and designed the novel index. In the next stage, the index was validated. CBCT scans of 30 patients scheduled for sinus\u2010augmentation procedures were evaluated and assigned presurgical CBCT evaluation scores (PSCESs) by five examiners. Subsequently, one oral surgeon performed sinus augmentation using the lateral antrostomy technique and assigned surgical difficulty scores (SDSs) to each of the 30 cases along with 2 observers. The PSCESs and SDSs were statistically analysed to determine the interrater reliability and validity of the index. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. The interrater agreement of the PSCES among the five presurgical evaluators was 0.85. The PSCES of the five evaluators had highly significant correlation (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001, <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic> = 0.68\u2009to\u20090.76) with the SDS. Regression analysis revealed that for every unit increase in the PSCES, there is 0.46 to 0.57 increase in the SDS value. <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. The results of this pilot study revealed that a novel CBCT\u2010based index can be used as a reliable tool for predicting the surgical difficulty of sinus\u2010augmentation procedures. However, the novel index needs to be tested on a larger sample of patients and evaluators for a more concrete validity and reliability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/9601968","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,31]],"date-time":"2021-12-31T22:21:09Z","timestamp":1640989269000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Application
