Abstract

Objective

This study aims to evaluate the sexual dimorphism of maxillary sinuses (MS) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Method

A total of 80 CBCT scans were taken from Peruvian patients aged between 20 and 70 years-old. The dimensions (length, width, and height) of the MS were measured and evaluated. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test with a significance level of p < 0.05.

Results

The left MS was wider than the right MS. Meanwhile, the right MS was longer than the left MS. In addition, the height of the right and left MS was significantly different in males and females, with p-value of 0.003 and 0.044 respectively. Bigger dimension of height of the MS was found in patients aged between 30 and 39 as well as patients aged between 40 and 49, whereas smaller dimension of height of the MS was found in patients aged between 60 and 70. Furthermore, the height of the right MS was significantly different in dentate and edentulous patients, with p-value of 0.033 and 0.043 respectively. The height of the right MS was predicted at 65 % in males and 70 % in females (p = 0.002).

Conclusion

The morphometry of the maxillary sinuses can be used for predicting sexual dimorphism.

利用锥形束计算机断层扫描分析成年人上颌窦的性别二态性。试点研究

本研究旨在使用锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）评估上颌窦（MS）的性别双态性。对 MS 的尺寸（长、宽、高）进行了测量和评估。数据采用 Mann-Whitney U 检验进行分析，显著性水平为 p < 0.05。同时，右侧 MS 比左侧 MS 长。此外，男性和女性的左右多发性硬化症的高度有显著差异，P 值分别为 0.003 和 0.044。年龄在 30 至 39 岁以及 40 至 49 岁之间的患者多发性硬化症的身高尺寸较大，而年龄在 60 至 70 岁之间的患者多发性硬化症的身高尺寸较小。此外，有牙患者和无牙患者的右侧多发性硬化症高度存在显著差异，P 值分别为 0.033 和 0.043。结论上颌窦的形态测量可用于预测性畸形。
