ABSTRACT
Background: The Aim Of The Present Study Was To Determine Age And Gender Radio-graphically Based On Comparison Between CBCT And Panoramic Views Of Maxillary Sinuses. Methods: One Hundred And Twenty Patients Were Selected. Patient Divided Into Three Groups According To The Age Each Group Consist Of 40 Patients. Group 1: Young Adults (14-20 Years). Group 2: Adults (21-40 Years). Group 3: Elderly (>40 Years). CBCT And Panoramic Radiographs Were Taken For Every Patient To Evaluate Of The Volume, Vertical As Well As Horizontal Dimensions Of Maxillary Sinus.

Results: In (14-20 Years) Age Group, CBCT Was Higher Predictive Than Panorama In Height And Width. In Age Group (21-40 Years); CBCT Was Higher Predictive Than Panorama In Width And Height. While In Age Group (>40 Years); Both CBCT And Panorama Was Same Predictive Results In Both Width And Height. In (14-20 Years) Age Group CBCT Left Side MS Volume Was Higher Predictive Than Right Side. In (21-40 Years) Age Group Right Side Is Higher Predictive Than Left Side In MS Volume. In (>40 Years) Age Group CBCT Right Side Is Predictive As Left Side In MS Volume. Conclusion: CBCT Images Provide Reliable Volumetric Information For Gender And Age Determination.
