Our results showed that mucosal thickenings were found in 59 (29.5%) cases and mucous retention cysts were found in 19 (9.5%) cases. Both findings were recorded together in 11(5.5%) cases. The highest percentage of mucosal thickenings was found in the age group of 50-60 years (47.5%) within this sinus finding. Also the highest per¬centage of mucous retention cysts was also found in the same age group (73.7%). No statistical sig-nificant difference was recorded between prevalence of maxillary sinus findings and age of the pa¬tients (P=0.460). Maxillary sinus findings were found slightly higher in males, despite that no statistical significant difference was found regarding sex (P= 0.600). Prevalence of mucous retention cysts was slightly higher in dentate group 11 patients (l0.1 %) but also no statistical difference was found between maxillary sinus findings and presence or absence of teeth (P= 0.664). In the view of these results, it could be concluded that prevalence of maxillary sinus findings were neither maxilla teeth nor age dependant. Hence, it can be suspected that odontogenic causes may not be a major contributing factor in their formation.  ردمد : 0  اسم الدورية : Egyptian Dental Journal  المجلد : 47  العدد : 1  سنة النشر : 2001 هـ 2001 م  نوع المقالة : مقالة علمية  تاريخ الاضافة على الموقع : Saturday, March 20, 2010  الباحثون اسم الباحث (عربي) اسم الباحث (انجليزي) نوع الباحث المرتبة العلمية البريد الالكتروني سعاد منصور Mansour, Soad باحث مشارك دكتوراه   الملفات اسم الملف النوع الوصف  26088.pdf pdf   الرجوع إلى صفحة الأبحاث
