A rapid regeneration of the epithelium takes place in the maxillary sinus in rabbits after experimental operative removal of the mucosa. Two weeks postoperatively the previously denuded areas have reepithelialized. The subepithelial glands, however, do not seem to regenerate. The normal sinus mucosa contains numerous serous glands in the lamina propria, but in the regenerated mucosa these glands are replaced by dense connective tissue. Atypical glands and polyp formations are sometimes encountered, but goblet cells are sparse. Furthermore, the sinus cavity on the operated side is reduced in size compared with the nonoperated side because of fibrosis and periosteal reactions including bone degradation and neogenesis. This study indicates that although the mucosa is reepithelialized within 2 weeks, the regeneration of the lamina propria is incomplete, and reactive cellular processes such as bone remodeling, fibroblast proliferation, and formation of polyps and "atypical glands" are characteristic of regenerating mucosa.
