“…Of the 15 articles identified, 11 indicated more reliable measurement results for use in forensic medicine [15,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23]25,26]. Camba et al [24] and Ayyildiz and Akgunlu [26], reported that linear maxillary sinus measurements were significantly higher in males. Teixeira et al [20], Mathew and Jacob [18] and Paknahad et al [17] reported that the maxillary sinus height was the best discriminant measurement for gender estimation.…”

“…The initial search revealed 1719 relevant papers, with 1032 remaining after checking for manual duplicates. Following title and abstract screening, fifteen papers were identified for a full analysis based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. The articles included were published between 2015 and 2023, with the majority of publications occurring in 2020.…”

“…The selected studies used only CBCT images to evaluate morphological and volumetric measurements of the maxillary sinus for human identification [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Of the fifteen articles identified, five reported data assessing only volumetric measurements of the maxillary sinus [11][12][13][14][15], seven reported data calculating only linear measurements of maxillary sinus [16][17][18][19][20][21][22], and three reported data by combining findings of both linear and volumetric measurements of the maxillary sinus [24][25][26]. It was impossible to conduct a meta-analysis since every study was evaluated individually and they were heterogeneous.…”

Gender determination is an essential element for human identification in forensic medicine, to which the maxillary sinuses may contribute as they remain intact even after severe damage to the skull and other structures. Aim: To evaluate scientific evidence published over the last decade to determine whether maxillary sinus dimensions and volume may constitute useful parameters for forensic identification and gender determination, based only on cone-beam computed tomography images (CBCT). Methods: This review adhered to the PRISMA statement’s criteria. Four databases were searched for articles published between January 2010 and April 2023. Results: Initially, 1719 records were identified. After screening, there were 2475 participants in the included studies. Of the fifteen articles selected, five reported data assessing only volumetric measurements of the maxillary sinus, seven reported data calculating only linear measurements and three reported data by combining findings of both linear and volumetric measurements of the maxillary sinus. Maxillary sinus volume was significantly higher in male participants. Maxillary sinus height was the best discriminating parameter for forensic identification with an overall accuracy ranging from 70% to 80%. Conclusions: Maxillary sinus measurements revealed anatomic variability between genders, and this approach can be applied as a complementary method for human identification.

Accessory Ostium of the Maxillary Sinus and Its Impact on Sinusitis

Background: One of the anatomical variations in the maxillary sinus is the accessory ostium (AO). In the nasal cavity, the lateral wall’s vertical plane is parallel to the form of the AO, which is round or oval in appearance. During a nasal endoscopic examination, AO may be seen in contrast to the normal ostium of the maxillary sinus, which is hidden behind the uncinate process. Methods: The search for recent research articles on AO of the maxillary sinus was done with databases Scopus, PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar. This review article discusses the prevalence, development, endoscopic examination, clinical significance, surgical importance, relationship with chronic sinusitis, and its management. Results: AO may interfere with ventilation and drainage of the maxillary sinus. Hence, it is important to evaluate the anatomical features of the AO for its relationship with sinus pathology. The development of maxillary sinusitis may be significantly impacted by the anatomical variance known as AO of the maxillary sinus. The middle meatus’s posterior nasal fontanelle is where AO is most frequently observed. The possible mechanism for the formation of AO is obstruction of the natural ostium of the maxillary sinus by sinusitis or due to anatomical and pathological factors in the middle meatus leading to rupture of membranous regions such as fontanelle. Conclusion: Clinicians must have adequate knowledge regarding the anatomical variations of the AO. It frequently appears in the fontanelle, the membranous portion of the middle meatus’ lateral nasal wall that is between the uncinate process and inferior meatus.

Introduction:The accessory maxillary ostium (AMO) is an anatomical variation that can be associated with the pathologies of the maxillary sinus, sinonasal variations, and dentition status. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of AMO and its association with age, sex, sinus variation, pathological formations, the status of dentition, and tooth endodontic and periodontal status using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and methods:The retrospective analysis of CBCT scans from 390 patients over the age of 18 years (232 female and 158 male) was carried out in this study. All the CBCT images were analysed with sagittal, coronal, and axial sections. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to test intra-observer agreement. P-values of 0.05 were considered statistically significant at a 95% confidence interval (95% CI).Results: In the present study, 780 sinuses from a total of 390 CBCT scans were analysed. The prevalence of AMO was 33.1% on the right side and 35.4% on the left. There was no statistically significant relationship between the presence of AMO and pathological formation in all individuals (p > 0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed between the prevalence of AMO and sinonasal variations. Conclusions: There was no significant difference in AMO prevalence related to age, presence of mucosal thickness, mucus retention cysts, maxillary sinusitis, sinonasal variation, the status of dentition, and the periodontal status of posterior maxilla. However, there was a relationship between AMO and both sex and endodontic status.
