Abstrakt: The study aimed to (a) investigate the amount and characteristics of the surrounding bone of protruded molar roots into the maxillary sinus using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and (b) assess the correlation between the amount of bone with panoramic high-risk signs. Radiographs of 408 roots protruding beyond the sinus floor were evaluated. Axial CBCT images were used to investigate then classify eight characteristics of surrounding bone: no bone; bone < half the root girth in the proximal or buccal-palatal aspect; bone covering half the root girth in the proximal or buccal-palatal aspect; bone > half the root girth in the proximal or buccal-palatal aspect; and, complete bone. These were then grouped into four degrees of bone support: no bone; bone ≤ half the root girth; bone > half the root girth; and, complete bone. Panoramic signs were subclassified as: projection of root; interruption of the sinus floor; darkening of the root; upward curving of the sinus floor; absence of periodontal ligament space; and, absence of the lamina dura. Correlation between the degree of bone and the panoramic signs was evaluated using the Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests. Positive and negative predictive values, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and receiver operating characteristic analysis were calculated. Complete bone support was the most common. 'Projection of root' had a high negative predictive value and sensitivity. 'Absence of the periodontal ligament space and lamina dura' had a high positive predictive value, specificity, accuracy, and area under the curve. These two signs were significantly correlated with the degree of bone support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
