Abstract:

The maxillary posterior teeth, where the anatomy is complicated, have a close relationship with the maxillary sinus, so endodontic microsurgery can be difficult in this area. Some anatomical features of the maxillary sinus increase the operative risk of injuring adjacent anatomical structures, which may affect the surgical process and prognosis. This review summarizes the anatomical characteristics of the maxillary sinus, including its development and morphology, maxillary sinus ostium, Schneiderian mucosa, maxillary sinus septa, posterior alveolar artery, and its relationship with maxillary posterior teeth. From the aspects of preoperative preparation, surgical approaches, complications, prognosis, and success rate, the influence of the maxillary sinus on endodontic microsurgery in the area of maxillary posterior teeth is discussed briefly.

Key words: endodontic microsurgery, maxillary sinus, maxillary posterior area, anatomical relationship, periapical lesion, operative approach, prognostic factors
