Features of the morphological state of bone tissue of the lower wall of the maxillary sinus with the use of fixed orthodontic appliances

Abstract

The aim of the study was to identify the consequences of the use of fixed otrhodontic appliances (FOAs) on the morphological state of the tissues of the lower wall of the maxillary sinus, depending on the duration of their use.The study involved 115 male and female patients aged 18 to 25 years. All patients were divided into 2 research groups depending on the period of wearing brace systems. The control group consisted of patients who did not require orthodontic treatment orthodontic appliances. The density and thickness of the lower wall of the maxillary sinus were calculated in all groups.
