Purpose: To evaluate the incidence, morphology and localization of antral septa with computed tomography and panoramic radiography. Materials and Methods: 2390 maxillary sinuses examined radiographically with computed tomography and panoramic radiography retrospectively. The morphology and localization of sinus septa is also evaluated by panoramic radiography. Results: The sinus septa prevalence was determined as 13.7% with computed tomography and 18% with panoramic radiography. The maxillary sinus septa is more commonly found in edentulous maxillae than in dentate maxilla. The septa is mostly localized at the middle part of the sinus and the size of the septa mostly changed between 6-10 mm. Conclusion: Detailed knowledge about location, morphology and height of antral septa is clinically important to reduce the rate of complications when maxillary sinus surgery, i.e. Sinus flor elevation, is carried out. Purpose: using computer tomography and panoramic radiography to determine the ratio, localization and size of the septa seen in the sinus. Tools and Methods: 2390 maxils of the sinus were radiographically evaluated as retrospective using computer tomography and panoramic radiography. Panoramic radiography has also been evaluated in terms of the size and localization of the sinus septa. Results: The ratio of sinus septa with computer tomography is 13.7%, while the ratio is 18% by panoramic radiography. It is determined that the number of septs seen in non-dental cracks is greater than the number of dental cracks, the number of septs is found in the central area of the sinus and the size varies between 6-10 mm. The result: in operations such as the sinus augmentation of the sinus, the detailed knowledge of the sinus anatomy of the sinus is important for the reduction of the rate of complications. Keywords: Maxiller sinus septa, antral septa, computer tomography, panoramic radiography
