Abstract:
Objectives: To determine the anatomical relationship between maxillary sinus floor and root apices of maxillary posterior teeth using CBCT.
Methods: An extensive systematic literature search was performed using online databases such as Pubmed, Google Scholar, etc. Studies that provided information on the anatomical relationship between maxillary sinus floor and root apices of maxillary posterior teeth using CBCT were selected.
Results: After searching the above mentioned data sources 194 articles were obtained. 194 articles were screened on the basis of title relevant to the topic of systematic review to get 41 articles. Further screening was done and 20 duplicates were obtained. After removing duplicates 21 articles were obtained. Abstracts of all 21 article were screened to get 20 articles. Out of 20 articles, 10 articles were paid articles. Thus 10 were obtained as free full text. And thus 10 studies were finally used for this systematic review.
Conclusion: The maxillary molar root apices compared to the premolars showed a closer relationship with the MSF, as seen on CBCT.
