Identificação humana através da análise do seio maxilar em radiografias panorâmicas

Paranasal sinuses and human identification

“…The morphology and metrics of maxillary sinuses can be used to estimate sex and for human identification (Musse et al, 2009) (Musse et al, 2011). The literature reports cases of identification performed by comparing the ante-mortem and postmortem characteristics of the morphology of maxillary sinuses (Musse et al, 2011).…”

“…To determine individual characteristics, aiding the identification process, it is timely to analyze the bones of the skull, pelvis, and femur, as well as the sella turcica, mastoid cells, and paranasal sinuses (Cox et al 2009). Due to the particularity of their contours, paranasal sinuses provide valuable information for human identification, reducing the risk of errors by forensic professionals during the investigation (Barros et al, 2021b;Gioster-Ramos et al, 2021;Musse, 2009). Paranasal sinuses are arranged in the two facial hemispheres and classified, according to their anatomical Research, Society and Development, v. 10, n. 9, e48710918161, 2021 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v10i9.18161 3 relationships, into maxillary sinus (MS), ethmoid sinus (ES), frontal sinus (FS), and sphenoid sinus (SS) (Keir, 2009;Gallup, Hack, 2011;Ebrahimnejad et al, 2016).…”
