Does residual bone thickness apical to periodontal defect play a major role in maxillary sinus mucous membrane thickness?: A cone ‑beam computed tomography‑assisted retrospective study

Conclusion: Probability of MMT was increased if RBT is<4 mm. Early detection and promptperiodontal treatments associated with regenerative procedures can be instituted whereverpossible to improve RBT and to reduce MMT. Further, microbiological studies are required toconfirm the analysis.Key Words: Cone ‑beam computed tomography, furcation defects, maxillary sinus, mucousmembrane, periodontal diseases, periodontitis
