Table 1 Maxillary sinus size changes in patients treated orthodontically with different removable functional orthodontic appliances.
| Maxillary sinus indentation base length before orthodontıc treatment (mm) | Maxillary sinus indentation base length after orthodontıc treatment (mm) | Maxillary sinus indentation base length change | P | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group A | 31.3±3 | 34±3 | −2.7 | (P<0.05) |
| Group B | 31.5±3 | 31.8±0.1 | −0.3 | (P>0.05) |
| Group C | 35.8±3 | 40.7±0.1 | −4.9* | (P<0.05) |
| Group D | 31.6±9 | 33.5±2 | −1.9 | (P>0.05) |
| Group A | 48.2±3 | 39.2±3 | 9.0* | (P<0.05) |
| Group B | 43.8±5 | 46.4±6 | −2.6 | (P<0.05) |
| Group C | 55.6±5 | 57.2±4 | −1.6 | (P>0.05) |

| Group D | 303.9±20 | 380.9±41 | −77.0* | (P<0.05) |
| Group A: maxillary expansion appliance; Group B: twinblock/monoblock appliances; Group C: face mask appliances; Group D: chincup appliances. 0.05 indicates statistically significant difference. * The group is statistically significantly different from the others. | ||||
