Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science And Advanced Clinical Research (IJMACR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim:The aim of the study is to characterize the mastoid process in terms of its size and to assess the reliability of the mastoid’s, morphometric parameters in determining the gender of the subject. Materials and Method:This retrospective study consists of 100 Adult CBCT (CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY) images of 25 males and 25 females, who were listed for Implant retained Prosthesis. Radiographic measurements of the length, width and height of left and right mastoids were accurately characterized using customized software. Age group of 15-60 years were included and Images with gross artifacts; Images that did not show anatomic details of the base or the lateral sides of the mastoid were excluded. Result:This study showed significant difference between mastoid process of males and females. Statistics revealed highly significant value for mastoid length, width and height (p<0.01). This study revealed that the mastoid process could be used a reliable indicator for gender determination.
