Abstract
Due to the increasing use of miniplates for anchorage purposes in orthodontics, it is very important to know more about infrazigomatic crest anatomy (thickness), in adult patients.
Evaluate the infrazygomatic crest region thickness, in adult (male and female) patients.
Cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) images from 40 patients were used to assess cross-sectional measurements of the infrazygomatic crest region. Measurement 1 considered thickness 2 mm above the distobuccal root of the permanent maxillary first molar, while measurement 2 was taken 2 mm above the first measurement.
The mean thickness of the infrazygomatic crest in males was 3.55 mm for measurement 1 and 2.84 mm for measurement 2, while in females these were 2.37 mm and 2.24 mm, respectively.
The authors concluded that the overall mean thickness of the infrazygomatic crest was 2.49 mm with respect to measurement 1, and 2.29 mm for measurement 2, with no statistically significant differences between gender.

CT scans were performed with patients seated so that the Frankfort horizontal plane was parallel to the ground, in a maximum intercuspation position.</p><p>The Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) file format was used to compose three-dimensional reconstructions of each patient’s facial structure using Dolphin Imaging<sup>®</sup> software, version 11.5 Premium (Dolphin Imaging & Management Solutions, Chatsworth, USA). After the image processing, the head orientation in each digital image was standardized according to the sagittal, coronal and axial planes. In the frontal view, the patient’s median line was aligned in accordance with the orientation line of the software and the right and left frontozygomatic sutures were marked.

sec-type="discussion"><title>DISCUSSION</title><p>The Schneiderian membrane, which is attached to the bordering bone of the maxillary sinus, is characterized by a periosteum overlaid with a thin layer of pseudociliated stratified respiratory epithelium, constituting an important barrier for the protection and defense of the sinus cavity. Its integrity is essential to normal sinus function.<xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr"><sup>16</sup></xref></p><p>According to Reiser et al,<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr"><sup>17</sup></xref> when implants extend less than 2 mm into the maxillary sinus, the sinus membrane becomes elevated, which favors healing as it allows for the formation of a blood clot that provides a scaffold for bone formation in this region. When the implant extends further into the maxillary sinus, i.e. greater than 2 mm, the Schneiderian membrane becomes perforated, which may result in the discharge of bone fragments inside the maxillary sinus, thus compromising healing ability, increasing the occurrence of sinusitis.</p><p>In a clinical and experimental study of the effects caused by the penetration of osseointegrated dental implants into the nasal cavity and the maxillary sinus, Brånemark et al<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr"><sup>18</sup></xref> noted that titanium implants did not cause side effects and were well-anchored in bone. The authors believe that no side effects were seen because these implants became osseointegrated into the bone structure, which promoted direct contact between the implant, bone and soft tissue. This direct connection between the implant and the hard and soft tissues creates a barrier against the migration of microorganisms, and inhibits the inflammatory process around the implant. In essence, osseointegration protects the implant. On the other hand, according Adell et al,<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr"><sup>19</sup></xref> when osseointegration does not occur, a fibrous tissue covers the implant, normally leading to the induction of an inflammatory process followed by bone resorption and implant loss.</p><p>In order for implants to be placed into a suitable bone surface, the anatomy of the infrazygomatic crest must be known by means of specific exams, such as CBCT.</p><p>The present study demonstrates that the infrazygomatic crest is significantly thinner than the length of the miniscrews commonly used in this region, as the mean thickness of the crest was found to be 2.49 mm for measurement 1, and 2.29 mm for measurement 2. The present findings corroborate those of Liou et al,<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr"><sup>14</sup></xref> who found a thickness of 2.9 ± 0.9 mm in the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus (where miniplates were placed) and Baumgaertel and Hans,<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr"><sup>20</sup></xref> who found a mean thickness of 3.87 mm at 2 mm from the apex of the distobuccal root of the first molar and 2.98 mm at 4 mm from the apex of the distobuccal root.</p><p>Liou et al<xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr"><sup>14</sup></xref> and Lee et al<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr"><sup>21</sup></xref> found no statistically significant differences between the measurements on the right and left sides. However, the present results show a statistically significant difference between the right and left sides with respect to measurement 2, among female patients - although this data is not clinically relevant, since the differences found were very small in comparison to the 5-mm miniscrew size.</p><p>Lee et al<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr"><sup>21</sup></xref> found that the infrazygomatic crest was clinically thicker in male patients than in female patients. In the present study, no statistically significant differences were detected between sexes. In fact, marked individual variations in these measurements were observed irrespective of sex, which is in agreement with the findings of Farnsworth et al.<xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr"><sup>22</sup></xref></p><p>The present study found that the average thickness of the infrazygomatic crest was smaller when measured further from the root apex, corroborating the results reported by Baungaertel and Hans,<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr"><sup>20</sup></xref> who found greater risk of maxillary sinus perforation when miniscrews were placed in a more cranial orientation.</p><p>Baungaertel and Hans<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr"><sup>20</sup></xref> stated that great individual variation exists in the thickness of the infrazygomatic crest. Indeed, the present study also found measurements ranging from 0.9 to 7.4 mm, which is probably due to differing root lengths, maxillary sinus pneumatization, buccolingual inclination of the maxillary first molar, and the height of the alveolar processes among the individuals studied, all of which are determinants to the available bone depth for miniscrew placement. However, according to Kravistz and Kusnoto,<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr"><sup>23</sup></xref> if the maxillary sinus membrane is perforated during miniscrew placement, immediate removal must not occur due to its small diameter. Orthodontic therapy must continue and the patient should be followed to avoid the possible development of sinusitis and mucocele.</p><p>Kim et al<sup>24</sup> conducted a computed tomographic study to observe the placement of 31 miniplates, placed between the roots of the posterior teeth of 18 patients. To conduct the study, 74 screws, 4-mm long and 1.5 mm in diameter, were used. Their results showed that, of 74 miniscrews, 39 perforated the maxillary sinus, with mean exposure of 1.31 ± 0.72 mm. Among these, only 3 miniscrews protruded more than 2 mm into the maxillary sinus (2.37, 2.95, and 3.41 millimeters). No miniscrews presented mobility or caused any further complications, such as sinusitis, swelling or peri-implant inflammation. However, to conduct the study, Kim et al.<sup>24</sup> only selected patients who had presented clinical stability for a period of six months after miniplate placement and, as such, their results do not confirm the absence of risk factors for maxillary sinus perforation. It is noteworthy that, in the present study, the thickness of the infrazygomatic crest was compared with the length of a 5-mm miniscrew. Studies performed by De Cleck et al,<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr"><sup>12</sup></xref> an internationally renowned author for his studies of miniplates for orthodontic anchorage, have indicated that this region is the best option for the placement of miniplates. </p><p>Miyawaki et al<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr"><sup>25</sup></xref> observed in their studies that the stability of the miniscrew is not related to its length, but rather to its diameter, as 1-mm thick miniscrews demonstrated less stability than 1.5 and 2.3-mm miniscrews. Kim et al<sup>2</sup> also agree that the interface between the miniscrew and cortical bone is an important factor affecting the stability of the miniscrew. Myawaki et al<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr"><sup>25</sup></xref> further suggest that the thickness of the cortical bone should be verified by CT scan prior to the placement of these anchoring devices, which could indicate the use of miniscrews with a diameter greater than 2.3 mm in the case of thin cortical bone, thereby providing greater stability by increasing the contact between the cortical bone and the miniscrew.</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions"><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>The authors concluded that the overall mean thickness of the infrazygomatic crest was 2.49 mm with respect to measurement 1, and 2.29 mm for measurement 2, with no statistically significant differences between sexes.</p></sec><sec><title>CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS</title><p>The present study found the mean thickness of the infrazygomatic crest to be significantly thinner than the length of miniscrews commonly used in this region, which may cause maxillary sinus perforation if miniscrews of 5 mm or longer are used for miniplate anchorage. As a result, it is recommended to manufacture shorter screws, which would enable dental surgeons to offer safer procedures to their patients. However, the literature is controversial regarding the side effects of perforation and therefore, further study is necessary. Nonetheless, the risk of miniplate instability due to insufficient bone thickness, in addition to the development of sinusitis or other inflammatory processes, must be taken into account by orthodontists, and patients must be informed of the relevant risks posed by these types of procedures.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn fn-type="other" id="fn1"><label>How to cite: </label><p>Santos AR, Castellucci M, Crusoé-Rebello IM, Sobral MC.
