Cone beam computed tomographic evaluation of the maxillary sinus septa and location of blood vessels at the lateral maxillary sinus wall in a sample of the Singaporean population

To prevent the occurrence of complications, it is vital to have sufficient pre-operative knowledge of the possible anatomic structures present in the maxillary sinus. Having pre-operative CBCT imaging prior to sinus augmentation is advantageous as it allows for accurate assessment for the presence of septa or other anatomic irregularities that may complicate the surgery.
