Purpose: The objective of the research was to determine the relationship between root apices and maxillary sinus wall, and to analyze pulpoapical conditions of 2nd premolars, 1st molars, 2nd molars, 3rd molars using cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted on a retrospective manner of CBCT images of 1000 maxillary sinus with 500 subjects, who visited the Department of Dento-Maxillofacial Radiology. The association of each teeth with sinus floor and pulpoapical status were categorized. The association among gender, age, lateralization of sinus cavity were evaluated.
Results: A total of 602 second premolars, 500 first molars, 623 second molars, 347 third molars were evaluated. There were no significant differences between pulpoapical condition of teeth and gender or left and right sides (p=0.065, p=0.072). There were significant associations between pulpoapical condition of all teeth and age (p=0.023), and the relationship of each root with maxillary sinus and age (p=0.037). There was significant association between vertical position and right/left sides in second and third molars (p=0.033).
Conclusion: Age seems to have relationship with periapical condition of teeth, and the association of root with the sinus cavity.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma in the maxillary sinus: a case report.

Background: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, previously called malignant fibrous histiocytoma, is a type of malignant mesenchymal tumor (sarcoma) of soft tissue and sometimes bone. It is uncommon in the oral cavity and very sporadic in the maxillary sinus. Microscopic diagnosis of this malignancy in the maxillary sinus can be very challenging, because there is a range of features that may overlap with other benign and malignant tumors.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm, usually arising in sun-exposed skin of the head and neck. By immunohistochemistry, KRT20 and MCPyV positivity are found in about 90% and 80% of MCCs, respectively. Noteworthy, viral status in lip/oral cavity MCCs is poorly known.

Objective: This study aims to determine the anatomical relationship between the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) and the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus during preoperative radiological evaluations in the posterior maxillary dental region, as well as to evaluate the prevalence of PSAA and its potential associations with sinus pathologies.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study is based on the analysis of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data from 510 sinuses of 255 patients. The visibility of the PSAA vascular canal, artery diameters, vertical distance between the alveolar crest and the artery, and the distance to the sinus floor were measured in coronal sections.

Primary solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma is a malignant neoplasm characterized by the monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells outside the bone marrow. The tumor rarely occurs in the sinonasal tract, accounting for about 4% of all non-epithelial sinonasal tumors. Herein, the authors describe a rare case of sinonasal extramedullary plasmacytoma in a 33-year-old man who presented with a 3-month history of progressively increasing nasal mass, causing obstruction.

Sinus membrane perforations are among the most commonly reported intraoperative complications encountered during maxillary sinus floor elevation procedures performed via the lateral window approach. Large perforations (> 10 mm) can pose a major clinical challenge, and often result in failed bone augmentation and poorer long-term implant survival. Owing to these challenges, even a highly skilled oral implant surgeon with advanced training in implantology faced with such perforations may abandon grafting procedures in favor of a reentry approach.
