Volumetric Comparision Of Maxillary Sinus Between Geometeric Measurements And Software Calculations- A Pilot Study

Head and neck has complex anatomy and one of these complex anatomical structures are air sinuses that embryo logically develops from air cells. Theses sinuses are present in bone as bone cavities. Some of them surround the nasal cavity known as paranasal sinus. The paranasal sinuses are four paired air-filled cavities at the entrance of the upper airway. The maxillary sinus is one of paranasal sinuses situated within maxillary bone which enlarges with increasing age and fully developed after the eruption of permanent dentition. The aim of this study is to evaluate the difference in volume of maxillary sinuses measured by morphometric method and software method on Cone Beam Computed Tomography.
