The thickness of the radiographic image of the maxillary sinus mucosa on intraoral radiographs was evaluated in 13 patients with advanced periodontal disease, prior to and 12 months following initial periodontal therapy. Before treatment, a relationship was observed between the thickness of the sinus mucosa and the mean probing depths of the teeth in the involved sextant. As many as 79% of the available sextants showed swelling of the mucosa prior to periodontal therapy, compared to only 17% after treatment. This report supports previous studies indicating that advanced periodontal disease may cause swelling of the maxillary sinus mucosa and that periodontal therapy will significantly reduce such swelling.
在13例晚期牙周病患者中，于初始牙周治疗前及治疗后12个月，对口腔内X光片上的上颌窦黏膜放射影像厚度进行了评估。治疗前，观察到窦黏膜厚度与患侧牙弓象限内牙齿的平均探诊深度之间存在关联。在牙周治疗前，多达79%的可用牙弓象限显示黏膜肿胀，而治疗后仅有17%。本报告支持先前的研究，表明晚期牙周病可能导致上颌窦黏膜肿胀，且牙周治疗将显著减轻这种肿胀。
