Analysis of maxillary sinus volume of a group of population living on the southern border of Southeastern Anatolia
Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to assess the maxillary sinus volume (MSV) of people living in the south of the southeastern region of Anatolia by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in accordance with gender and age groups.
Methods: 400 maxillary sinus CBCT images of 200 patients were analyzed. To examine the correlation of maxillary sinus volume with age, all data were divided into six subgroups according to age. IRYS 15.1 software was used to obtain multiplanar images and volume measurement. SPSS package program version 25 was used to analyze the data. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine whether the data had a normal dispersion.
Results: In this study, 200 individuals, 110 (55%) women and 90 (45%) men, were included. When MSV was examined in accordance with age groups, statistically no remarkable difference was observed between the groups (p>0.05). In the comparison between men and women patients, a statistically important difference was showed in the right and left MSV, with men having a higher mean sinus volume than women (p<0.05).
Conclusion: MSV in men was found higher than in women. The mean MSV gradually decreases with age. However, in this study, no significant difference was observed in the average right and left MSV between age groups.
