Comprehensive analysis of maxillary sinus anatomical features and associated characteristics: a CBCT-based study in a Saudi subpopulation
Maxillary sinus morphology varied significantly with sex and age in this Saudi population. Male and younger individuals exhibited larger sinus dimensions, and sinus pathology was more common in older adults. These findings underscore the value of CBCT imaging for individualised treatment planning and highlight the need for population-specific anatomical references in clinical and forensic contexts. These findings have implications for surgical planning and sex estimation in forensic cases.
