Abstract
In this study, the maxillary sinus was selected as the subject of research due to its complex anatomical configuration and significant clinical relevance, which lies in the wide range of potential complications following dental procedures that may involve damage to this structure. The aim of the study was to analyze the dynamics of maxillary sinus height and the thickness of its superior wall in women using cone-beam computed tomography. The study was based on the CBCT results of 85 female patients. The findings showed that the height of the maxillary sinuses tends to increase from adolescence to early adulthood (p>0.05), followed by a significant decrease in older age (p<0.05). Age-related changes in the thickness of the superior wall of the maxillary sinuses are characterized by an increase from adolescence to early adulthood and thinning in older age (p<0.01). The morphometric results obtained provide new insights into the anatomy of the maxillary sinus and can be used in the diagnosis and treatment of dental and otorhinolaryngological patients.
