“…The result of the present study showed higher values for height, length, and width of the maxillary sinus for males. These findings were consistent with the findings in the previous studies by Kanthem et al ,[ 1 ] Sathawane et al ,[ 3 ] Sherif et al ,[ 4 ] Prabhat M. et al ,[ 5 ] Tambawala SS et al ,[ 6 ] Teke HY et al ,[ 7 ] Paknahad et al ,[ 9 ] Ekizoglu O et al ,[ 10 ] Soman C,[ 11 ] and Fajarwati et al . [ 12 ] who found all the three dimensions (height, width, and length) having higher values in the males.…”

“…The combination of both features usually gives the most accurate results. [ 4 ] The determination of sex can be done through the skull, the pelvis, the long bones with an epiphysis and a metaphysis in the skeletons, the mastoid process, the foramen magnum, and the paranasal sinuses in the skull. [ 1 ] It has been reported that maxillary sinuses remain intact despite the skull and other bones getting badly disfigured in victims who are incinerated.…”

Context: Radiography is used in forensics for the identification of humans, especially in cases where the body is decomposed, fragmented, or burned. In the skull bones, the zygomatic bone and maxilla including the maxillary sinus tend to remain intact even if the other bones are badly disfigured. Hence, the maxillary sinus has been considered by several authors for sex identification. The cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a non-invasive, recently developed technology that has seen an exponential rise in the use for visualizing dental anatomy and pathologies. The present study chose the available CBCT records of patients who show maxillary sinus and used them for determining sexual dimorphism related to the maxillary sinus. Aims: To measure the maxillary sinuses using CBCT and determine the efficacy of these measurements for sex identification. Settings and Design: Observational, cross-sectional, retrospective study. Methods and Material: A total of 60 CBCT scans (30 males, 30 females) were selected from a rural setup, and the height, length, and width of the maxillary sinus with the highest dimension for each variable were measured and recorded. Statistical Analysis: The data were analyzed by using the paired t -test. The discriminant equations were derived for both the right and left maxillary sinus. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed between the males and females for height (right and left) and length (left) of the maxillary sinus. The accuracy rate for sex identification in the present study was found to be 71.3%. Conclusion: Maxillary sinus height can be used as a reliable radiographic marker in forensic odontology for sex identification.

Objectives: To determine anatomical variability in morphometry of frontal air sinuses in male ethnic groups residing in Karachi. Study Design: Cross sectional descriptive study. Setting: Radiology Department of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center. Period: Nov 2018 to April 2019. Material & Methods: In total, the research subjects were 108. They were divided into four ethnic sub groups. Each ethnic subgroup had 27 members. The study subjects were in between 20 to 50 years of age with the mean age of 35.14 ± 8.68 years. Before the enrolment of the participants in the research, informed consent was taken. The methodology incorporated was X-ray radiography. The view for radiology was Water’s view. Area, height and width of both right and left frontal sinuses were measured by the help of Radiant DICOM digital software. A questionnaire was designed to record the demographic data. The parameters of area, height and width of the sinuses were noted in the proforma. The data was analyzed by the help of SPSS version 23.0. Results: The ethnic sub groups were compared by the application of One Way ANOVA. The comparison of the four ethnic groups showed high variability in terms of area, height and width of the right frontal air sinuses (p=0.000). Significant variations were also recorded for these parameters on the left side (p=0.000). Conclusion: The height width and area show pattern of anatomical variability in the right and left frontal air sinuses among the ethnic groups of males living in Karachi.

“…7 The anatomy of the paranasal sinuses can help the forensic anthropologists in human identification due to the peculiar characteristics which are unique to all the human beings. 10 The stronger bony identification tools can be identified by a simple and less expensive method called radiography. The methodology of radiography aids in determining the identification of persons that are otherwise in decomposed or putrefied state.…”

Objective: To determine morphology and variation in dimensions of frontal air sinuses in male and female genders living in Karachi. Study Design and Setting: It was a cross sectional study and was conducted at Radiology Department, JPMC. Methodology: The total number of study participants were 216. The research subjects were divided into two equal groups of males and females each having 108 members. The mean age of the participants was calculated to be 35.14 ± 8.68 years. The study subjects were recruited from Radiology Department, JPMC, Karachi. After taking written informed consent, Water’s (occipito-mental) view radiography was done to measure the parameters of height, width and area of the frontal air sinuses. The included variables were the demographic data and the physical examination to exclude facial anomalies. All the measurements were recorded and the measurements were saved by the help of Radiant DICOM digital software. Results: The parameters of height, width and the area of frontal sinuses showed highly significant variability on both the right and the left sides. All the dimensions were highly significantly greater in the males as compared to the female study participants (p=0.000). The Independent-Samples T Test was applied to compare the two gender groups. Conclusion: The parameters of height, width and area of frontal sinuses were greater in the males as compared to the females on both the left and the right sides
