Maxillary sinus different sides

0 = left side, 1 = right side

Relationship of the tooth root to the floor of the maxillary sinus

0 = no contact, 1 = at least one root in contact with sinus floor

Morphology of the floor of the maxillary sinus

0 = flat maxillary sinus floor, 1 = uneven or separated maxillary sinus floor

Vessels of the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus

0 = no blood vessels in the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, 1 = blood vessels in the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus

Mucosal condition of the maxillary sinus

0 = no mucosal thickening (mucosal thickness less than 2 mm)

1 = with mucosal thickening (mucosal thickness greater than 2 mm)

Presence of maxillary sinusitis

0 = without maxillary sinusitis, 1 = with maxillary sinusitis

Development of the maxillary sinus

0 = normal maxillary sinus development, 1 = maxillary sinus hypoplasia

Cortical bone condition of the floor of the maxillary sinus

0 = cortical bone at the floor of the maxillary sinus is intact, 1 = cortical bone at the floor of the maxillary sinus is incomplete
