Our study found that the largest tissue thickening was present in the middle section of the maxillary sinus. This tissue thickening did not vary based on gender, age, or smoking status, nor did it relate to the underlying alveolar ridge height. However, patients with a history of periodontal diseases demonstrated a significant association with mucosal thickening. A mucosal thickening index was proposed as a guide for future studies and clinical practice. A high implant and grafting success rate (100%) in the maxillary sinus was noted despite large and varied physiologic sinus mucosal/tissue thickening.
