Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the locations of the lingual foramen and posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) and their distances from the alveolar crest and maxillary sinus floor using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Material and method: In this study, 136 patients underwent CBCT:1) The PSAA's proximity to the alveolar crest and sinus floor, its position on the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, and 3) the distance from the lingual foramen to the alveolar crest borders.
Results: Gender caused a significant difference in the distance of the PSAA from the alveolar crest (p
