Objectives: To determine the distance between the maxillary fi rst and second molar roots and
the maxillary sinus fl oor on CBCT.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in the department of
oral and maxillofacial surgery Khyber College of dentistry Peshawar after approval from Ethical
Review Committee of hospital. All adult patients full fi lling the inclusion criteria were included
in the study. Data was collected on specially designed Performa. The vertical distance between
maxillary 1st and 2nd Molar roots, Right and left side were measured on CBCT Coronal view.
The data was analysed by SPSS version 22 for descriptive statistics. Student t test was used to
compare the distances.
Results: Total 60 patients included in the study. Male to female ratio was 2:1. Maxillary second
molar mesio-buccal root showed least distance from fl oor of maxillary sinus followed by maxillary
2nd molar palatal root and palatal root of 1st molar.
Conclusion: The preoperative assessment of the roots of maxillary molars is important for avoidance of sinus related complications because most of the times these roots are in close proximity with
the maxillary sinus, particularly in the maxillary 2nd molar region as demonstrated in this study.
