Assessment of Relationship Between Maxillary Sinus Floor and Maxillary Posterior Teeth Root Tips Position
132 participantsStarted 2021-10
Plain-language summary
There have been no cross-sectional studies conducted on the Egyptian population studying the relationship between maxillary sinus floor and the maxillary posterior root tips position using CBCT, and whether the maxillary sinus mucosal thickening is associated with periapical lesions as well as periodontal disease. Such study will raise the diagnostic and interpretational abilities of dental radiologists and decision making of oral surgeons and endodontists.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* CBCT scans for patients aged from 20 to 70 years.
* CBCT scans for patients with at least first and second maxillary premolars and first and secon maxillary molars present on one side (fully erupted teeth and fully formed apices).
* CBCT scans taken for pre-evaluation of endodontic treatment, implant placement, impacted teeth removal, obstructive sleep apnea treatment, pre-orthodontic or pre-prosthetic evaluation.
* Good quality CBCT scans.
Exclusion Criteria:
* CBCT scans for patients with no maxillary posterior teeth.
* CBCT scans for patients with history of maxillary sinus operation (including sinus floor elevation).
* CBCT scans for patients with sign or history of non-odontogenic sinusitis, including air-fluid level, thickening of all the sinus walls and maxillary sinus polyps.
* CBCT scans for patients with syndromes, congenital or developmental anomalies.
* CBCT scans for patients with bone disease.
* CBCT scans for patients with traumatic injuries to the maxillofacial region.
* Low quality CBCT scans (any artifact).
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
