Abstract

Purpose. Frontal sinus evaluation provide useful information for gender determination. Especially advanced imaging techniques offer improvements to the qualitative and quantitative morphological analysis of frontal sinus. The present study aimed to investigate the reliability of gender determination by means of frontal sinus measurements in two different population groups on CBCT scans.
