To determine the prevalence of incidental maxillary sinus findings in a large sample of orthodontic patients by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with a wide field of view and assess the relationships of such abnormalities with age and gender.
Five hundred thirteen CBCT scans obtained for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning in a Northern Italian population (N = 513; 292 female and 221 male subjects; 1,026 maxillary sinuses) were studied. The frequencies of pseudocysts and mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the influence of age and gender on these abnormalities.
Pseudocysts were detected in 52 patients (10.1%) and 59 sinuses (5.75%). Mucosal thickening was observed in 206 patients (40.1%) and 258 sinuses (25.1%). Gender and age were significantly associated with pseudocysts (p = 0.027) and mucosal thickening (p < 0.001), respectively.
Half of the orthodontic patients had incidental maxillary sinus findings. Men were more likely to show pseudocysts, and older patients (aged 41 - 60 years) were more likely to show mucosal thickening.
通过大视野锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）确定大量正畸患者中上颌窦偶然发现的患病率，并评估这些异常与年龄和性别的关系。
研究了在意大利北部人群中为正畸诊断和治疗计划而获取的513例CBCT扫描（N = 513；292名女性和221名男性受试者；1026个上颌窦）。记录上颌窦假性囊肿和黏膜增厚的频率。采用逻辑回归分析来确定年龄和性别对这些异常的影响。
在52例患者（10.1%）和59个鼻窦（5.75%）中检测到假性囊肿。在206例患者（40.1%）和258个鼻窦（25.1%）中观察到黏膜增厚。性别和年龄分别与假性囊肿（p = 0.027）和黏膜增厚（p < 0.001）显著相关。
一半的正畸患者有上颌窦偶然发现。男性更易出现假性囊肿，年龄较大的患者（41 - 60岁）更易出现黏膜增厚。
