Three-dimensional volumetric analysis of the maxillary sinus: a cone-beam computed tomography study

Volumetric study of the maxillary sinus in patients with sinus pathology

“…As was the case for other authors [18,23], no differences have been found in relation to the volumetric measurements of the sinus and the sex of the patients. However, in other series, smaller [24,25] or larger [17] sizes of sinuses are described for females.…”

“…There was no statistically significant correlation between the volume of the maxillary sinus and the age or laterality of patients, as was the case in our study. Gulec et al found that the average volume of the right maxillary sinus was 13.1 cm 3 while the left maxillary sinus was 13.2 cm 3 , without any significant differences between them [18].…”

Forensic evaluation of Highmore antrum sexual dimorphism by cone beam computed tomography: A retrospective study of a Peruvian population

“…On the contrary, when evaluating sex through the height, length, width, and volume of the antrum of Highmore and discriminant analysis, another study[ 6 ] determined that sexual dimorphism of the right maxillary sinus was 29.44% for height, 20.51% for length, 17.937% for width and 85.46% for volume, being 28.01%, 19.55%, 5%, and 78.38%, respectively, for the left maxillary sinus. In contrast to this study, the discriminant analysis performed in our study showed the height of the right and left antrum of Highmore to have the best discriminant parameters, with an accuracy level of 64.57% for determining gender.…”

“…It is located in the upper maxillary bone, with one on each side of the face and provides resonance to the voice, decreases the weight of the skull, and heats and cleans the inspired air. [ 5 6 7 ]…”

Three-Dimensional Calculation of Sinus Augmentation Volume after Maxillary Sinus Floor Elevation

“…[12][13][14][15] Among these methods, the application of CBCT in exploring paranasal sinuses has rapidly become a popular tool by supporting scientific and technologic advances. 16 CBCT was accepted very efficient, affordable, and relatively safe method for evaluating maxillary sinus cavity. One of the main points of this study to define a safe volume of the sinus cavity to avoid any serious complications during the surgery.…”
