    The Radiological Evaluation of Posterior Superior Alveolar Artery by Using CBCT
    (2021) Karslioglu, Hazal; Citir, Mesude; Gunduz, Kaan; Kasap, Pelin; 32598262
    Background: Evaluation of the maxillary sinus anatomy prior to sinus lift procedures is important to avoid surgical complications due to the close anatomical relationship between the posterior maxillary region and the maxillary sinus. Introduction: In order to avoid traumatizing the posterior superior alveolar artery and to prevent perioperative bleeding, locating the exact position of the artery is imperative before the surgical procedures. Methods: 150 CBCT scans were evaluated. The distance from the inferior border of the PSAA to the alveolar crest (the vertical line from the artery to the crest) and floor of the maxillary sinus, the distance from PSAA to medial sinus wall, nasal septum, zygomatic arch, position, the distance from the floor of maxillary sinus to the alveolar crest and diameter of the PSAA were assessed. Locations of the artery were classified. Results: The artery diameters were mostly >= 1 mm. The artery was mostly intraosseous (59.7%), 21.7% was superficial and only 18.7% was intra-sinuscular. Conclusion: The location of PSAA is intraosseous in most patients. The artery diameters were mostly >= 1 mm and we can say that increasing the size also increases the risk of complications.

    Does Le Fort I osteotomy have an influence on nasal cavity and septum deviation?
    (2020) Atakan, A.; Ozcirpici, A. A.; Pamukcu, H.; Bayram, B.; 0000-0003-4242-5114; 32031100
    Aims: Le Fort I (LI) osteotomy has been used for the correction of dento-facial deformities of the midface. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of advancement and impaction of the maxilla with LI osteotomy on the nasal cavity and septum. Patients and Methods: In this study, 40 adult patients, 23 females and 17 males (mean age 20.52 +/- 4.4 years), who underwent single-piece LI advancement and impaction surgery combined with a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy (BSSO) were included. Posterior-anterior (PA) and lateral cephalometric radiographs taken before surgery (T0) and at least three months after surgery (T1) were evaluated. The superior and anterior movements of maxilla, changes of the nasal cavity, nasal septum and maxillo-mandibular parameter were measured on the cephalometric radiographs. Treatment changes were statistically analyzed using paired sample t-test, and Pearson correlation analysis was applied for the determination of the relationship between variables. Results: There was no statistically significant change in the deviation parameters (P > 0,05). However, a statistically significant decrease was found for left and right nasal cavity heights after LI osteotomy (P < 0.05). Furthermore, no significant correlation was found between septal deviation angle and extent of maxillary movement (P > 0.05). Positive correlation was found between nasal cavity width and amount of maxillary impaction. (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The influence of maxillary impaction with LI osteotomy on nasal septum deviation was not found significant but maxillary impaction with LI osteotomy significantly increased the nasal cavity width.
