Abstract

Introduction

Few studies have compared the relationship of MSV in the different craniofacial patterns. Hence, the purpose of this research was to evaluate maxillary sinus volume in different craniofacial patterns using cone-beam computed tomography.

Materials and methods

This cross-sectional study included 100 pre-orthodontic patients mean aged 26.40 ± 6.77 (age ranged 21–64) years divided into different anteroposterior and vertical skeletal groups. From the cone beam computed tomography images using MIMICS 14.1 software, three-dimensional image of the maxillary sinus was constructed, and its volume was calculated.

Results

The mean maxillary sinus volume was 20,279.50 ± 7800.33 mm3. Among the anteroposterior skeletal groups, the mean maxillary sinus volume in skeletal Class II group is significantly larger than class III group (P < 0.05). Among the vertical skeletal groups, High-angle groups tend to have the largest maxillary sinus volume, though there were no significant differences among the groups (P > 0.05). Similarly, males have significantly larger maxillary sinus volume than females (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between ANB and maxillary sinus volume (P < 0.01).

Conclusion

Maxillary sinus volume is significantly larger in skeletal class II than in skeletal class III group and in males than in females (P < 0.05). These inferences have several implications in orthodontics, endodontics and oral surgery.
