A study on the association between accessory maxillary ostium and maxillary sinus mucosal thickening using cone beam computed tomography

Abstract

The study demonstrates a clear association between degree of MT and occurrence of AMO in the maxillary sinus. However, the location of the AMO is independent of the degree of the MT. There is a greater probability of finding an AMO in the maxillary sinus if the MT in the sinus is more than 3 mm.
