ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the relationship between concha bullosa (CB) and nasal septum deviation (NSD) with maxillary sinus pathologies with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials and Methods: The whole face CBCT data of 700 (383 male and 317 female) patients aged between 6-92 years who applied to Gaziantep University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology for any reason between 2017-2019 was evaluated retrospectively. CB, NSD and maxillary sinus pathologies were investigated on the images.
Results: NSD was found as 64.3%, concha bullosa as 27.9% on the right, 24.1% on the left, and maxillary sinus pathologies were 48.6% on the right and 44.4% on the left. While NSD was towards the left, the absence of right concha bullosa was found to be significant (p < 0.05). No significant relationship was observed between the presence of CB and maxillary sinus pathologies (p > 0.05). There was no significant relationship between NSD and maxillary sinus pathologies (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between the presence of CB and NSD, but the presence of CB had no effect on maxillary sinus pathologies. CBCT is an important diagnostic tool in the evaluation of the anatomical variations of the osteomeatal complex and three-dimensional examination of maxillary sinus.
