Background: To evaluate the frequency and radiodiagnostic characteristics of maxillary antroliths using cone beam computed tomography.

Materials and Methods: A review of 1166 patients aged 11-85 years was conducted to assess the frequency of maxillary antroliths, considering sex, age, and location. The relationship between antroliths and sex, location, dental treatment status, and sinus inflammation was evaluated. The shape, size, and volume of the antroliths were also analyzed. Significance was set at p=0.05 for statistical analysis.

Enrollment: 1,200 patients

Sex: All
