Abstract
AbstractPurpose: To assess the different dimensions, and the volume of the maxillary sinuses using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Explore whether these parameters can be used to gender determination. Material and methods: Left and Right maxillary sinus images were obtained for one hundred Egyptian patients divided into three age groups and different parameters (width, length, height, area, perimeter and volume) were measured and calculated. Mean value and standard deviation of left and right sides of maxillary sinuses measurements were evaluated and compared. The data was subjected to statistical analysis using independent t and (ANOVA) test. Results: Comparison maxillary sinus (MS) dimensions (width, length, Height, Area, Perimeter, and Volume) between male and female with in same age groups. Showed higher mean values in males. However, this difference showed a statistical significance in height only in all three age groups. Conclusion: Maxillary sinus height can be used as a support in forensic anthropology for sex identification.
