“…The present study showed the presence of septum deviation in 24.6% of cases; in the literature, frequencies of septum deviation varying from 9% to 80% have been presented, depending on the population and methodology 4,5,13,14,[16][17][18][19] . Some authors mention septum deviation as the most common anatomical alteration in the nasal cavity 18 .…”

Abstract. Concha bullosa (CB) and nasal septum deviation (NSD) can be a congenital trait or be linked to respiratory pathologies. Symptoms include snoring, sleep apnea, and other respiratory disorders that can be easily recognized by relatives and partners. CB and NSD are easy to identify and can be very applicable in the human identification process during routine forensic anthropological investigations. A physical-anthropological analysis was carried out by observing the presence of NSD and CB in 57 skulls from a Brazilian skull collection. Of the 57 skulls, 14 (24.6%) showed septal deviation, 19.3% to the right side and 5.3% to the left side. Regarding CB, this trait was observed in 16 skulls (34.8%) unilaterally and bilaterally in 9 skulls (19.6%). Our results are compatible with the literature and we suggest that CB influences contralateral NSD. The frequency and clinical aspects of these traits may be considered in a forensic investigation.

“…The CT is described as one of the potential imaging methods that can help forensic professionals to identify the human body, especially CBCT (Phothikhun et al, 2012;Hishmat et al, 2014;Silveira, 2015). Regarding paranasal sinuses, these methods allow accurate assessments and analyses (Pfaeffli et al, 2007;Tucunduva, Freitas, 2008). There are several studies in the literature that used radiographic images to verify whether the frontal, maxillary, and sphenoid sinuses provide support for recognition in estimating sexual dimorphism, age, and ancestry.…”

The characteristics of the paranasal sinuses (maxillary, frontal, sphenoid and ethmoid sinuses) are information of great relevance to Forensic Sciences, as their images can be used for human identification purposes. Due to their particularities, the paranasal sinuses provide valuable information for human identification, reducing the risk of errors during investigation by experts. Such structures are visualized from several imaging exams. This study evaluates the possibilities of human identification through the analysis of the paranasal sinuses, as well as the effectiveness of their analysis in estimating sex, age and ancestry. A comprehensive search was performed in the PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, and Web of Science databases. As inclusion criteria, texts that addressed the subject were selected. Imaging analysis of the frontal, maxillary and sphenoid sinuses is a useful tool for human identification, as well as for estimating sex, age and ancestry; usually provides a high level of accuracy. Regarding the ethmoid sinus, research is indicated to verify its use in human identification, as no publications on this specific subject were found. Additional research must be carried out (especially three-dimensional analysis of the paranasal sinuses), to develop standardized protocols, improving the work of experts, helping justice and society.

Orthodontic 2D and 3D frontal sinus imaging records: an important role in human identification

Two-dimensional imaging records, as conventional radiographies, are part of the orthodontic clinic routine; frontal sinus images are often present in these exams. The characteristics of the frontal sinus are information of great relevance for the Forensic Sciences, as their images may be used for human identification purposes. With the advent of new three-dimensional technologies and computerized image examinations such as Computed Tomography (CT), three-dimensional analysis of the frontal sinuses has become possible. This article evaluates the possibilities of human identification using frontal sinuses 2D and 3D images and the role of orthodontists in this context. Pubmed, SciELO, LILACS and Web of Science were used as databases. As inclusion criteria, were selected texts concerning the studied issue. Although the analysis of frontal sinuses is traditionally carried out using two-dimensional images, there is a growing trend of studies employing CT scans. Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is an important diagnosis tool, more frequently used in orthodontics, which allows a three-dimensional approach and great precision in measurements. Together with two-dimensional analysis of frontal sinuses, 3D images are of great value for human identification. Although three-dimensional analysis is not yet a routine, its Forensic use is undoubtedly an excellent tool provided by new technologies. It is important that the orthodontist knows this possibility by properly keeping the patients’ imaging exams.
