BACKGROUND
To compare and correlate the maxillary sinus dimensions and basal bone height among various facial patterns using CBCT for advanced diagnosis and treatment planning in Orthodontics.
METHODS
66 CBCT images within age group of 18-30 years were divided into horizontal (Group 1), average (Group 2) and vertical (Group 3) facial growth pattern...

Background: Implant placement in the posterior maxilla is problematic, not only due to inferior properties of bone but also due to loss of vertical bone height which happens after extraction of posterior teeth. When the required additional height is few millimeters, indirect transcrestal sinus lifting procedures is recommended. This study was carri...

... Maxillary sinus plays a significant role in relation to the craniofacial structures as it is located in close proximity to the maxillary dentition and the adjacent structures, and it influences how the dentition and facial shape develop over time. Understanding the relationships between maxillary sinus dimensions and craniofacial patterns can provide valuable insights for orthodontic treatment planning, implant placement, and surgical procedures [3] . ...
... Several previous studies have assessed the correlation between the maxillary sinus and one or all types of craniofacial growth with contrasting results [3][4][5][6][7] . So, the aim of the present study was to find if there is a correlation between maxillary sinus dimensions and different craniofacial patterns using 3D-CBCT. ...
... This is an anatomical limitation that may hinder the mobility of teeth during orthodontic treatment and lead to complications. Any change in the maxillary sinus' growth could consequently result in the development of skeletal or dental malocclusion [3] . ...
... However, conflicting results have been reported in the literature with regard to this correlation. [5][6][7][8] Therefore, the purposes of the present study were to evaluate maxillary sinus volume (MSV) in a Saudi sample, compare MSV between genders, and evaluate the relationship between MSV and different skeletal patterns. ...
... The least sinus volume was reported in subjects with horizontal growth patterns. [7] In agreement with some studies, our results indicated that males tend to have a larger MSV than females. [6,8,16] This can be utilized and implemented in forensic medicine to aid in gender determination. ...
Introduction
This study aimed to evaluate the maxillary sinus volume (MSV) in both genders in a Saudi sample and among different skeletal patterns.
Materials and Methods
This retrospective cross-sectional study included 52 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 18 years or older individuals with complete dentition and healthy medical history. MSV was measured as the mean value of both sides in cubic millimeters (mm ³ ) using OnDemand three-dimensional™ Dental. Cephalometric tracings were conducted on cephalograms obtained from CBCT scans. The beta, A × B, and Frankfort-mandibular plane angles were selected to determine the sagittal and vertical skeletal patterns of the study subjects. Descriptive statistics and other tests were conducted. The significance level was set at P < 0.05.
Results
Fifty-two CBCT scans were included in this study (23 males and 29 females), with a mean age of 36 (±14) years. The mean MSV was 14887 (±5030.79) mm ³ . Males had statistically significantly larger MSV (16517 ± 5335 mm ³ ) compared with females (13595 ± 4,452 mm ³ ) ( P = 0.036). There was no statistically significant difference in MSV among all other cephalometric measurements ( P > 0.05).
Conclusions
The MSV in the studied Saudi sample was larger among males. However, different skeletal patterns have no statistically significant differences in MSV.
