Volumetric Analysis of Frontal Sinuses by Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography in South Indian Population
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract: Frontal sinuses are air filled cavities which are mostly paired and lobulated in shape. They are located posterior to the superciliary arches in between the two bony tables of frontal bone. They are usually symmetrical, with septum between both. Sometimes one or both sinuses may be missing. Frontal sinuses are usually absent at the time of birth, starts developing at the second year of life and reaches full size at second decade of life. The latest CBCT units have a higher resolution, lower exposure, are less expensive and faster imaging accompanied by fewer problems of geometric distortion. This radiographic modality can be used in understanding the sinuses anatomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability of Cone Beam Computed Tomography to evaluate the volumetric analysis of frontal sinuses in south indian population. CBCT records were taken from various diagnostic centres across Bangalore were evaluated.They were subjected to various measurements in cognizance with objectives of the study. The CBCT examinations were made using a Kodak CS 9300 digital imaging system (Care Stream Dental LLC, Atlanta, GA, USA).(Fig 1) and two imaging systems were used: KDIS (Kodak dental imaging system), CS 3D Imaging V3.2.9. & ONDEMAND3D App1.0.9.4138. CBCT is a reliable method for measurements of different dimensions of maxillary and frontal sinus and can be used as an aid for personal identification, in forensic anthropology and also for criminal investigations.
