Anatomical Factors Affecting the Complexity of Maxillary Sinus Augmentation in Saudi Patients: A Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) Study
In this study, most sinuses were classified as simple or moderate difficulty, with higher membrane thickness, presence of septa, and AAA being the significant risk factors for complications. These findings provide valuable insights for implant surgeons in Saudi patients seeking dental implant rehabilitation of the posterior maxilla, enabling them to anticipate and minimize potential complications during MSA procedures.
