Objective: To investigate the clinical feature, diagnostic and therapeutic methods of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor(IMT).
Method: One case of IMT was reported and the relevant literatures were reviewed.
Result: The computed tomography scan showed irregular soft tissue density shade and aggressive bone destruction with unclear boundary. Pathological findings showed variable numbers of inflammatory cells and myofibroblastic spindle cells. Tumor cells were immunoreactive for vimentin and smooth muscle actin, but negative for desmin et al.
Conclusion: IMT of the maxillary sinus is very rare. The diagnosis of IMT base on histopathology and immunohistochemistry. The genesis and development of IMT result from chromosomal translocations that often cause an overexpression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase. IMT are clinical and pathological distinct entities and its biological behavior is still uncertain.

Radiology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, Turkey.
Purpose: This study aims to identify anatomical variations inside and outside the maxillary sinus (MS), determine their prevalence and coexistence, and investigate their relationship with MS volume in individuals without MS pathology, using ImFusion Suite software.
Methods: Analysis of 330 paranasal CT scans obtained from the radiology archive (2018-2021) was performed using the ImFusion Suite program. Anatomical variations, including accessory ostium, Haller cells, ethmomaxillary sinus, concha anomalies, septa, and impacted teeth, were identified and their frequency of coexistence was determined.

Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is a condition presenting to both the dental and otolaryngologic practitioner. Common causes of OMS include dental implants, displacement of a maxillary tooth root tip during extraction, migration of materials used in root canal therapy or graft material in sinus lift procedure. A 68-year-old male patient presented with complaints of repeated episodes of sinusitis for about 3 months which was not responding to conservative management.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the stress distribution in bone tissue, implant, abutment, screw, and bridge restoration when the mesial implant is placed axially and the distal implant is inserted at varying angles in the posterior maxillary region with free-end partial dentition defects, using three-dimensional finite element analysis.
Materials And Methods: Cone-beam computed-tomography were utilized to create 3D reconstruction models of the maxilla. Stereolithography data of dental implants and accessories were used to design a three-unit full zirconia bridge for the maxillary model.
