The prevalences of the pneumatizations by age, sex, locularity, and laterality were determined. The significance of differences between variables was evaluated by the Chi-square test and analysis of variance.ResultsPAT was detected in 28.4% of the zygomatic bone sides and PRGF in 29.6%. Bilateral PAT was detected in 176 (17.6%) patients and bilateral PRGF in 195 (19.5%). The mean age of patients with PAT was 47.33years and that of patients with PRGF was 45.62years. Multilocular appearance was observed significantly more often than unilocular type for both pneumatizations (p |
