Abstract:

The maxillary sinus is located in the maxillary bone. Since birth, its pneumatization has formed a cone-shaped cavity surrounded by multiple bone walls. Its inferior is adjacent to the posterior teeth of the maxillary and closely related. When the maxillary sinus is extensive pneumatization, the root apex of the posterior maxillary tooth is close to the maxillary sinus floor or even protruding into the maxillary sinus. It affects the diagnosis and treatment of the oral multidisciplinary field. The combined effect of congenital and acquired environmental factors influences the degree of maxillary sinus pneumatization, but the mechanism and exact influencing factors of extensive maxillary sinus pneumatization remain unclear. In this work, the anatomical characteristics of the maxillary sinus, the classification of maxillary sinus pneumatization, the relationship between the maxillary sinus pneumatization and the diagnosis and treatment of stomatology, and the related factors affecting the maxillary sinus pneumatization were reviewed to provide a theoretical basis for clinicians to understand maxillary sinus pneumatization, extensive pneumatization, and the mechanism of extensive maxillary sinus pneumatization.

Key words: maxillary sinus, maxillary sinus pneumatization, extensive maxillary sinus pneumatization, influence factors
