J Clin Med 2024; 13:3425. [PMID: 38929953 PMCID: PMC11204726 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13123425] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Bimaxillary surgery is an elemental procedure in the field of cranio-maxillofacial surgery. It allows for the correction of even the most challenging cases of maxillomandibular disorders, malocclusion, facial asymmetry, and disproportion. The osteotomies and maneuvers carried out during the procedure result in changes to the surrounding tissues, including the maxillary sinuses (MS). The aim of this study was to assess the change in the maxillary sinus volume and the thickness of the mucosa after maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgeries. Methods: A group of 25 patients who underwent MMA surgery were included in the study. Computed tomography (CT) of the head and neck region was performed 2 weeks preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively. Acquired Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) files were analyzed using different software programs to calculate the medium MS mucosa thickness and MS volume. Results: A statistically significant reduction in MS volume was observed (p = 0.015). The change in the median thickness of the MS mucosa was not statistically significant. The median sella-nasion-A point angle (SNA angle) value of the group increased from 80.2 to 83.4 degrees. A weak negative correlation between the SNA delta and the MS volume delta was observed. Spearman's rank coefficient: (ρ s = -0.381, p = 0.060). Conclusions: The MMA surgery results in a reduction in the MS volume. The amount of forward movement of the maxilla may be correlated with the extent of the MS volume reduction.

Comparative study of anatomical features of primary and accessory maxillary ostia between patients with obstructive sleep apnea and healthy controls. Sleep Breath 2024; 28:541-554. [PMID: 37452886 DOI: 10.1007/s11325-023-02874-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine how the size and shape of the maxillary sinus and its ostia (the primary maxillary ostium and accessory maxillary ostium) relate to each other in patients with OSA using computed tomography (CT) scans. Additionally, the study aimed to explore whether or not obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) had an effect on these structures. METHODS CT images of patients diagnosed with OSAS and healthy participants were evaluated to compare the patency, location, dimension, and presence of PMOs and AMOs using the Mann-Whitney U, Student t, and chi-square tests. Also, intragroup correlations were analyzed by Spearman's correlation test. RESULTS Among 139 patients with OSA and healthy controls, there were significant variations in the average length (p = 0.001) and width (p = 0.008) of PMOs among the study groups. The mean maxillary sinus volume was significantly decreased in the OSA group (p = 0.001). A significant decrease in the maxillary sinus volume was observed in the OSA group (p = 0.001). In the OSA group, a significant correlation was observed between PMO obstruction and the presence of AMO (p = 0.004). The healthy group had significant correlations (r = 0.755, p = 0.000) between the vertical height and the distance between PMO and the maxillary sinus floor. Correlation analyses revealed positive, strong correlations between study variables such as the mean length and width of AMO and the vertical height of the maxillary sinus (r = 0.566, p = 0.000) in the OSA group. CONCLUSIONS The current study indicated significant differences in sinus volume, PMO occlusion, and AMO-related dimensions between patients with OSA and healthy controls.

Three-dimensional evaluation of the maxillary sinus in patients with different skeletal classes and cranio-maxillary relationships assessed with cone beam computed tomography. Sci Rep 2023; 13:2098. [PMID: 36747077 PMCID: PMC9902527 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29391-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective was to evaluate the relationship between the dimensions of the maxillary sinuses (MSs) and various cephalometric parameters. MS volume (MSV), MS surface (MSS), linear maximum depth (LMD), linear maximum width (LMW), and linear maximum height (LMH) were calculated on CBCT scans of 99 adults. Two sets of two-way (ANOVA) assessed the influence respectively of ANB and SNA angles and of the gender on MS dimensions. Pearson's correlation was calculated between MS dimensions and different cephalometric variables. Reliability and accuracy of the proposed method was tested with intra-operator and inter-operator intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Two-way ANOVA showed no statistically significant difference in MSV, MSS and LMH between ANB groups, whilst males were associated with bigger sinuses. LMW showed statistically significant difference in both ANB and gender groups. LMD showed no statistically significant difference. The second Two-way ANOVA showed significantly larger MSV, MSS and LMD in patients with increased or reduced SNA angle but not between genders. LMW and LMH also showed a significant difference between genders. All linear measurements showed a significant interaction of the two factors. The intra-observer and inter-observer ICC scored high for all the tested measurements. MSV and MSS showed a positive correlation with S-N, PNS-A, S-Go, N-Me, N-Ans and the distance between Mx points. LMW had a negative correlation with Ba-S-N angle and N-Me, LMH with Ba-S-N angle, S-Go and Mx r-Mx l and LMD with N-Me and N-ANS. LMW had a positive correlation with Mx r-Mx l, LMH with S-N, S-N^Ans-Pns, N-Me, N-Ans and LMD with S-N, Ba-S-N, PNS-A, S-Go and distance between Mx points. In conclusion, MSV and MSS did not differ between the three skeletal classes, males showed significantly larger MS than in females. Concerning the influence of the cranio-maxillary relationship (SNA) and gender on MS dimension, subjects with a retrusion (SNA < 80°) or protusion (SNA > 84°) of the maxillary alveolar bone had larger MSV, MSS, LMW, LMH and LMD than subjects with a normal cranio-maxillary relationship (SNA 82 ± 2°). A statistically significant high positive correlation was observed between S-N, Pns-A, S-Go, Mx-R/Mx-r and MS dimension. Further studies that evaluate similar outcomes in different races may be able to enrich our knowledge on this topic.

A systematic review and meta-analysis. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023; 124:101310. [PMID: 36261062 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2022.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 10/02/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate anatomical changes in the maxillary sinus after LeFort I osteotomy. METHODS The study protocol was developed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols, and it was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews under registration number CRD42021236412. RESULTS Our search strategy yielded 64 articles. Of these, 31 were duplicate studies, and 33 were independently reviewed by two authors for eligibility. Of these 33 studies, 24 were excluded as they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Finally, nine studies met the criteria for inclusion, and they were critically reviewed. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that maxillary sinus volume decreases after one-piece and multisegment osteotomies in both skeletal class II and class III male and female patients, with one-piece LeFort I osteotomy technique showing a greater reduction in the sinus volume than the multisegment osteotomy technique. The maxillary sinus thickness remained constant postoperatively.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this article was to systematically review maxillary sinus changes after LeFort. We examined and analyzed the anatomical abnormalities that occurred following LeFort I osteotomy, as well as the abnormalities of maxillary sinus volume (MSV) before and after the operation. Methods A systematic search was conducted on various databases, such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus. The articles used were in English and original. This study was conducted until September 2023, and after reviewing the articles, several keywords, such as "Maxillary sinus" and "LeFort I osteotomy", were employed. The obtained data were evaluated based on the PICO framework. Results Findings from 15 studies showed that the amount of MSV decreased before and after the operation (considering the three dimensions of the sinus, the measurement was performed linearly). These reduction values differed between men and women, with men having a greater reduction. As is the case with other operations, there were some side effects associated with this type of operation that some patients experienced postoperatively. Conclusion In both male and female patients, the MSV was reduced after one-piece and multi-segment osteotomies. Nonetheless, one-piece LeFort I osteotomy showed a higher reduction in MSV than the multi-segment osteotomy method, according to this systematic review and meta-analysis.

A reproducible and repeatable digital method for quantifying nasal and sinus airway changes following suture palatine expansion. Sleep Breath 2022; 27:1175-1183. [DOI: 10.1007/s11325-022-02691-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 07/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
The airway complex is modified by palatine expansion. Computer tomography has been used in the past to determine the change in volume, but there was a lack of a specific, reproducible method for this purpose. The present study sought to determine the accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability of an innovative digital measurement technique for analyzing the volume of maxillary and nasal sinus airways following suture palatine expansion performed with the Hyrax disyuntor appliance.
Methods
Patients underwent preoperative and postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. The datasets were subsequently uploaded into a digital treatment planning software to record the volume of the right and left maxillary sinus, as well as the nasal and maxillary sinus airway complex. The Gage Repeatability & Reproducibility statistical analysis methodology was used to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of this measurement technique when measuring the volume of maxillary and nasal sinus airways following suture palatine expansion with the Hyrax disyuntor appliance. Additionally, comparative analysis between preoperative and postoperative measures was performed using Student’s t-test for statistical analysis.
Results
In 5 patients, paired t-tests found statistically significant differences before and after treatment in the volumes of the left maxillary sinus (p = 0.002), right maxillary sinus (p = 0.001), and nasal and maxillary sinus airway complex (p = 0.005) after suture palatine expansion with the Hyrax disyuntor appliance.
Conclusion
The proposed digital technique is an accurate, repeatable, and reproducible measurement technique for analyzing the volume of maxillary and nasal sinus airways following suture palatine expansion using the Hyrax disyuntor.

Abstract
In the present retrospective study, we aimed to assess the replicability and reproducibility of a novel digital measurement technique for analyzing the volumes of the left and right maxillary sinuses and the nasal and maxillary sinus airway complex after a sinus lift procedure using the lateral window approach, to provide an accurate measurement technique for easily applying in clinical practice and to allow pre-operative assessment of maxillary sinus lift surgery, avoiding complications and making surgery more predictable. Material and Methods: Thirty patients with partially edentulous posterior maxilla were selected and submitted to bilateral sinus lift using the lateral window approach technique, with grafting materials selected and submitted to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, both pre- and postoperatively. Then, datasets were uploaded to therapeutic digital planning software to measure the volume of the right and left maxillary sinuses and the nasal and maxillary sinus airway complex. Gage R&R statistical analysis was performed to assess the replicability and reproducibility of the digital measurement technique. Results: The variability attributable to the novel digital measurement technique was 3.4% for replicability and 3.4% for reproducibility of the total variability of the samples. Conclusion: The novel digital method proposed is a replicable and reproducible technique for analyzing the volume of the right and left maxillary sinuses and the nasal and maxillary sinus airway complex after a sinus lift using the lateral window approach technique, allowing an accurate pre-operative assessment of maxillary sinus lift surgery, avoiding complications and making surgery more predictable.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The present study aimed to investigate the contribution of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). METHODS The present study investigate the relationships among body mass index (BMI), upper airway, septum deviation, nasal cavity width, airway, and the hard and soft palate width using CBCT images of 64 patients obtained in Uşak University Faculty of Dentistry. The study included 31 (8 female and 23 male; mean age: 52.52 ± 10.01 years) and 33 patients (12 female and 21 male; mean age: 47.39 ± 10.27 years) with and without OSAS, respectively. Between-group comparisons of non-normally and normally distributed variables were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Student's t-test, respectively. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between quantitative data. Statistical significance was evaluated at P < .01 and P < .05. RESULTS There were significant differences between groups in the BMI, nasal septum position, hard and soft palate width, maxillary skeletal width, and palatal alveolar angle (P < .01). In addition it was also found that BMI was higher, the nasopharyngeal airway was longer, and the soft palate was longer and wider in males. (P = .001; P < .01). CONCLUSION This study concluded that patients with OSAS had marked narrowing of the upper airway, nasal cavity and maxillary width, shortening and enlargement of the soft palate, and marked increase in BMI. However, to gather sufficiently reliable data for routine use in orthodontic analyses, there is a need for greater number of samples to improve the database.
