Abstract

Background: At the age of 12 years and above, the growth of the maxillary sinus goes on inferior, and at the age of 18 years, the estimation of the growth of the maxillary sinus has completed. The base of the sinus could sometimes go down between adjacent teeth at the root of each tooth, so the tips of the molar root possibly enter to the base of the antrum. The sinus measurement with tooth roots could be perfrmed as a dentist’s reference in carrying out treatment related to endodontics, extractions, and implant placement. Objective: To determine the age correlation and the position of the inferior sinus maxillary with maxillary molar teeth using panoramic radiographs at RSGM Ladokgi TNI AL YosSudarso Makassar. Material and Method: The study was observational analytic using a cross-sectional method. The samples were 20 panoramic radiographs of 10 photos of each age group, 12-18 years and >18 years in RSGM Ladokgi TNI AL YosSudarso Makassar. A radiograph was digitalized using Software ImageJ; then the Spearman Correlation test was performed. Result: Based on the result of the study, the classification between the apical root of the second molar and the inferior wall of the maxillary sinus was obtained for the left and right regions in the two groups, 12-18 years and >18 years having the highest 0 classifications. The results of the analysis of Spearman Correlation test showed p-value 0,393 (p> 0,05) and the r value -0.200 for the right region, and p-value 0,302 (p>0.05) and r value -0,243 for the left regin. Conclusion: The hypothesis showed that there was no correlation between the age and the position of the inferior sinus maxillary wall using panoramic regiographs at RSGM Ladokgi TNI AL YosSudarso Makassar.
