[Maxillary antrum surgery with or without bone lid formation. Retrospective comparative study].
A long-term study was performed after conservative maxillary antrum surgery with (50) and without (106) bone lid formation including a total of 154 patients. While no differences were found regarding the patients' sensitivity to changes in the weather, neurological disorders, or complaints of pressure sensations, considerably better results were obtained with respect of the time until a stable postoperative condition was achieved, the radiographic and the local findings, after surgery with the use of a bone lid.
