The objective of this research was to determine if there is a relationship between mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus and periapical lesions detected in digital panoramic radiographs of patients from the Dental Clinic of Universidad Norbert Wiener, Lima 2019. This was an observational, retrospective, cross-sectional study with a relational level, which included a sample of 225 digital panoramic radiographs. The chi-square test was used to analyze the data. The results showed that of the total patients with mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus, 48.9% had periapical lesions, with a statistically significant relationship (p≤0.05). Of the total patients, 61.8% had mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus, while 38.2% did not. Furthermore, 30.2% of the patients had periapical lesions adjacent to the maxillary sinus. According to sex, 71.9% of the patients with mucosal thickening were female, showing a statistically significant relationship (p≤0.05). According to age, 48.9% of patients with mucosal thickening were aged 41 to 60 years, followed by 37.4% aged 20 to 40 years (p≤0.05). Of the total patients with mucosal thickening, 23.02% had unilateral thickening, while 76.98% had bilateral thickening. When relating the degree of mucosal thickening and adjacent periapical lesions, a significant relationship was found with severe mucosal thickening (p≤0.05). Conclusion: Mucosal thickening of the maxillary sinus is significantly related to adjacent periapical lesions (p=0.000).

Risk of osteoporosis in patients of the Maxillofacial Diagnostic Institute, evaluated in digital panoramic radiographs, Lima 2021
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-12-16) Soto Faustino, Katheryn Elvira; Mezzich Gálvez, Jorge Luis
A total of 127 digital panoramic radiographs from patients aged 35 to 75 years were analyzed to measure the width of the mandibular cortex using the MCW index. The results showed that 43.3% were at high risk of developing osteoporosis, while 56.7% were normal. According to sex, 42.9% of females were at high risk of osteoporosis, and 57.1% were normal. In males, 56% were normal, and 43.3% were at high risk. Regarding age groups, in females aged 56 to 75, 69.7% were at high risk of osteoporosis, while in males of the same age group, 68.8% were at high risk. The average mandibular cortex width was 3.12 mm ±0.42 mm in females and 3.09 mm ±0.47 mm in males. For the age group of 56 to 75 years, the average mandibular cortex width was 2.86 mm ±0.38 mm in females and 2.87 mm ±0.30 mm in males. Conclusion: 56.7% of the digital panoramic radiographs of the patients were normal, indicating no risk of developing osteoporosis.
