Frontal sinus as an adjuvant in personal and gender identification – A morphometric digital study

Abstract: Introduction: Human radiography plays a major role for personal and gender identification in case of natural disasters such as earth quacks, tsunamis, etc. when human remains are decayed or deceased. The uniqueness in dimensions and patterns of the frontal sinus (FS) lead to advances in forensic dentistry. Aim: To evaluate the dimensions and patterns of FS as observed on posterior-anterior (PA) cephalogram for personal and gender identification. Materials and Methods: A total of 700 PA Cephlograms, 350 males a… Show more

“…Bilateral aplasia was reported as 2% in studies by Chaudhary and Singh [29] and Goyal et al [4]. Unilateral aplasia rates also differ, with studies by Chaudhary and Singh [29], Pandeshwar et al [9], and Kanjani et al [30] reporting rates of 6%, 8%, and 12.2%, respectively. Interestingly, this study notes a higher incidence of frontal sinus absence in females compared to males, consistent with findings in Turkish, Japanese, and Alaskan Eskimo populations [31].…”
