Evaluating the relationship between periodontal bone loss in maxillary posterior teeth and Schneiderian membrane thickness

This study found a relationship between maxillary sinus membrane thickness and bone loss due to periodontal disease in the maxillary posterior region. Considering the relationship between periodontal disease and sinus infections, it can be concluded that progressive and untreated periodontal disease may be associated with infections in close anatomical structures such as the maxillary sinus. These results may contribute to the development of clinical decisions and treatment plans in implantology practices.
