Abstract：AIM: To investigate the age -related changes of posterior alveolar bone height of maxilla. METHODS:540 individuals with normal paranasal sinus spiral CT examination results were enrolled in this study. The subjects were divided into 9 groups according to age(years) (A:7-12, B:13-17, C:18-20, D:21-24, E:25-28, F:29-35, G:36-40, H:41-65, and I:66-81) (n=60, with 30 males and 30 females). The height of each maxilla was measured. The results was analyzed by ANOVA with SPSS 14. 0. RESULTS:The height of maxillary alveolar bone showed no statistic difference between male and female in the same age groups(P>0. 05). The height of the alveolar bone in group A was higher than that in group B, it was increasing from group B to group E, then de-creased in group F, increased in group G and kept the similar level to group I. CONCLUSION:The height of maxil-lary alveolar bone changes with age and reaches a stable state after 40 years of age.
