Özet
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the locations of the lingual foramen and posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) and their distances from the alveolar crest and maxillary sinus floor using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Method: In this study, 136 patients underwent CBCT: 1-The PSAA’s proximity to the alveolar crest and sinus floor, 2-Its position on the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, and 3-The distance from the lingual foramen to the alveolar crest bor- ders. Results: Gender caused a significant difference in the distance of PSAA from the alveolar crest (p<0.001). The PSAA was most often located on the inner wall of the maxillary sinus. The distance between the lingual foramen and the lower and upper margins of the crest varied significantly depending on gender (p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study, it was found that the lingual foramen, PSAA, and the distances of these formations to the alveolar crests could be determined at a high rate in CBCTs, and gender had an effect on these distances.
