“…The maxillary sinus, which is the largest of the four sinuses, occupies a large region of the face [11], and has therefore been the focus of studies in various clinical fields [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Until now, most studies have been clinical case studies based on sex, but studies have been conducted recently on the growth of the maxillary sinus [2,8,[11][12][13][14].…”

“…The facial skeleton is fully developed by adulthood, with the shape varying between individuals and races. To determine this variation, we divided them into euryprosopic type, mesoprosopic type, leptoprosopic type, and hyperleptoprosopic type based on their facial index (FI) classification [9,10]. However, most studies have compared maxillary sinus sizes based on growth, and no research that we know of has analyzed the relationship between maxillary sinus and FI classification.…”

“…It was therefore necessary to study this undetermined relationship. Most studies have also not measured maxillary sinus size in three dimensions, instead measuring it in 2D, which may be less accurate [2,8,[10][11][12][13][14]. The CBCT does not overlap like a panorama [15] and may not produce an accurate representation if pyramid shapes, like the maxillary sinus, are not evaluated in 3D.…”

The maxillary sinus growth is initiated 3 months after birth, and it grows lateral and inferior until the pneumatization of the alveolar bone occurs. The facial skeleton has recently been determined as affecting the maxillary sinus, prompting additional studies on changes in the size of the maxillary sinus. This study aimed to determine the size of the maxillary sinus using a 3D program after categorizing South Korean adults according to their facial index (FI) classification. The participants of this study were 60 patients in their 20s, who visited the orthodontic department of Dankook University Dental Hospital (approval no. DUDH IRB 2015-12-022). The CBCT of the patients were extracted and measured as 3D images using Mimics (version 22.0, Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Upon categorizing the subjects based on their FI classification, they were grouped into the mesoprosopic, leptoprosopic, and hyperleptoprosopic types. A one-way ANOVA was performed to evaluate the mean differences of the maxillary sinus, depending on the FI classification. In this study, the maxillary sinus tended to be wider in those with mesoprosopic type, and tended to be higher in the hyperleptoprosopic type, suggesting a need for clinicians to focus to the shape of the face during clinical treatments.
