Abstract

Aim: Gender identification is a classical judicial procedure, and an important step in creating a post-mortem profile. The purpose of this study was to determine the gender of the individuals using maxillary sinus (MS) measurements obtained with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans and to investigate the accuracy of these measurements. Materials and Methods: In this study, a total of 414 MSs of 207 individuals (81 males and 126 females aged between 20 and 41 years) with a complete dentition were evaluated. The length (internal wall), width and height of the MS were measured using CBCT. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney-U test and discriminant function tests were used. In all analyses, values less than p 0.05). In addition, discriminant function analysis showed that MS height was the most significant variable in the differentiation of sex groups. The accuracy rate of gender assessment was 53.8% for females and 65.5% for males with a mean of 58.8%. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that the left MS height showed anatomical variability between genders. CBCT scanning is a useful tool for evaluating MS. Key words: Sex determination, cone-beam computed tomography, maxillary sinus, identification.

Özet

Amaç: Cinsiyet tanımlaması klasik bir adli prosedürdür ve ölüm sonrası profil oluşturulmasında önemli bir adımdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı konik ışınlı bilgisayarlı tomografi (KIBT) taramaları ile elde edilen maksiller sinüs (MS) ölçümlerini kullanarak bireylerin cinsiyetini belirlemek ve bu ölçümlerin doğruluğunu araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada 20 ila 41 yaşları arasında tam dişli 207 bireyin (81 erkek ve 126 kadın) toplam 414 MS’si değerlendirildi. KIBT kullanılarak MS’nin uzunluğu (iç duvar), genişliği ve yüksekliği ölçüldü. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Mann Whitney-U testi ve diskriminant fonksiyon analizi kullanıldı. Tüm analizlerde, p 0.05). Ek olarak, diskriminant fonksiyon analizi, MS yüksekliğinin cinsiyet gruplarının farklılaşmasındaki en önemli değişken olduğunu gösterdi. Cinsiyet değerlendirmesinin doğruluk oranı kadınlarda %53,8, erkeklerde %65,5 olarak bulundu. Sonuç: Bu çalışmanın sonucunda, sol MS yüksekliğinin cinsiyetler arasında anatomik olarak değişkenlik gösterdiği bulunmuştur. KIBT taraması MS’nin değerlendirilmesinde yararlı bir araçtır.
