Gender determination is considered to be an important step in the reconstruction of the biological profile in forensic medicine. Maxillary sinus can be used for identification of sex when other methods are indecisive. Computed tomography (CT) provides an excellent method for examining maxillary sinuses. Hence the aim of the study was to determine the accuracy of gender determination using maxillary sinus with CT.<jats:italic> Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>. CT images were used to measure the mediolateral, superoinferior, and anteroposterior dimensions and the volume of the maxillary sinuses in 100 patients (50 males and 50 females) to determine the gender of an individual for forensic identification. Discriminative analysis was done using the values derived and the <mml:math xmlns:mml=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\"><mml:mrow><mml:mi>t<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>-test for independent samples was used to compare these values in males and females.<jats:italic> Results<\/jats:italic>. The accuracy rate was found to be 84% in males and 92% in females with the mean accuracy of 88%.<jats:italic> Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Our study concludes that gender determination can be done using measurements of maxillary sinus through CT when other methods are unavailable. The prediction rate can be increased by including volume of the maxillary sinus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/9017078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,4]],"date-time":"2017-04-04T18:41:21Z","timestamp":1491331281000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["3D Evaluation of Maxillary Sinus Using Computed Tomography: A Sexual Dimorphic Study"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"given":"Balaji Babu","family":"Bangi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Kamineni Institute of Dental Sciences, Narketpally, Nalgonda, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2645-1267","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Uday","family":"Ginjupally","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Kamineni Institute of Dental Sciences, Narketpally, Nalgonda, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lakshmi Kavitha","family":"Nadendla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Kamineni Institute of Dental Sciences, Narketpally, Nalgonda, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bhavana","family":"Vadla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Kamineni Institute of Dental Sciences, Narketpally, Nalgonda, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00276-006-0157-1"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jasi.2014.04.007"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0975-1475.176950"},{"issue":"4","key":"4","first-page":"770","volume":"50","year":"2005","journal-title":"Journal of Forensic Sciences"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0379-0738(96)02033-6"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1259\/dmfr\/21276789"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/2278-9626.126213"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/0975-1475.154595"},{"key":"10","first-page":"94","volume":"5","year":"2011","journal-title":"Guident"},{"issue":"1","key":"11","first-page":"38","volume":"30","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of Forensic Odonto-Stomatology"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/scs.0000000000000734"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2342-11-8"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5037\/jomr.2016.7101"},{"key":"15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijom.2009.02.028"},{"issue":"2","key":"16","first-page":"185","volume":"19","year":"2015","journal-title":"European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences"}],"container-title":["International Journal of Dentistry"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijd\/2017\/9017078.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijd\/2017\/9017078.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijd\/2017\/9017078.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,4]],"date-time":"2017-04-04T18:41:22Z","timestamp":1491331282000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/ijd\/2017\/9017078\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017]]},"references-count":15,"alternative-id":["9017078","9017078"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2017\/9017078","relation":{},"ISSN":["1687-8728","1687-8736"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1687-8728","type":"print"},{"value":"1687-8736","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017]]}}}
