Maxillary Sinus Septa Prevalence and Morphology: Computed Tomography Based Analysis

The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence, location and morphology of maxillary sinus septa, and in particular sagittally orientated forms, which cannot be visualized by classic 2D x-rays. Thereby authors would like to provide information about the potential patient group, to be referred f...
