Significance of Anatomical Evaluation of Maxillary Sinus and Posterior Superior Alveolar Artery in Dental Radiology

Posted: January 15, 2025
The study evaluated the relationship between the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) and maxillary sinus using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) data. It found that the PSAA was predominantly located in the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus and was detected bilaterally in most patients. There was no significant relationship between PSAA presence and sinus pathologies or septa. Female patients showed a higher incidence of sinus pathologies. Understanding the anatomical position and prevalence of PSAA is crucial for preoperative radiological assessments to prevent vascular complications in the posterior maxillary region.
