Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS statistics software.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Of all 227 sinuses examined, 56.8% showed pathological changes, with mucosal thickening being the most common. More than 50% (50.2%) of sinuses were associated with periapical lesions of at least one maxillary posterior tooth based on evidence of pathological mucosal thickening. The presence of pathologic mucosal thickening was also significantly related (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05) to the presence of periapical pathologies. There was a significant association between tooth position and pathological sinus mucosal thickening, especially with second molars, first molars, and second premolars, respectively (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05). Second molar involvement was the most significant (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The present study established a positive association between periapical disease status of maxillary posteriors and maxillary sinus mucosal thickening. Maxillary second premolar and first and second molars pathologies can significantly affect the maxillary sinus compared to other maxillary posterior tooth. CBCT proved to be an efficient imaging modality in detecting these changes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/aam.aam_74_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,7]],"date-time":"2023-07-07T01:27:27Z","timestamp":1688693247000},"page":"327-332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Prevalence and Pattern of Proximity of Maxillary Posterior Teeth to Maxillary Sinus with Mucosal Thickening"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Admaja K.","family":"Nair","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Merrin","family":"Jose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"L.
