Abstract :Objective: This study aims to evaluate whether the restoration and loss of teeth adjacent to the maxillary sinuses affect the formation of mucous retention cysts by examining the panoramic radiographs of patients who came to Fırat University Faculty of Dentistry for various reasons. Materials and Method: In the study, the panoramic radiographs of a total of 1585 patients, 863 women and 722 men, aged 18–65, who came to Fırat University Faculty of Dentistry for treatment between 2021 and 2022 were retrospectively examined. Existing restorations such as root canal treatment, filling, and crown on the upper first premolar, upper second premolar, upper first molar, and upper second molar teeth that are in relation to the maxillary sinuses, restoration need (canal treatment, filling, crown, caries), and loss status were determined. SPSS (SPSS® v22.0; SPSS Inc.,Chicago, USA) program was used to analyze the data obtained statistically. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Chi-Square test and the Bonferroni method. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the 313 patients with mucous retention cysts, 163 (52.1%) were female and 150 (47.9%) were male. In patients with mucous retention cysts, 204 (65.2%) of their upper first premolar teeth, 207 (66.1%) of their upper second premolar teeth, 265 (84.7%) of their upper first molars, and 201 (64.2%) of their upper second molars were restorated, resulting in tooth loss. Conclusion: Restoration, tooth loss and caries in the maxillary posterior region are effective in the formation of mucous retention cysts. It is important to routinely examine and evaluate this region for mucous retention cysts.
