MATERIALS and METHOD The randomly selected 208 patients aged from 20 to 85 years were analysed. The measurements of mesio-distal, antero-posterior, and supero-inferior dimension of frontal sinus, cranial width, nasal width, maxillary width, and mandibular width were examined using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Statistical analyses were performed using Kolmogorov–Smirnov, paired sample t test, Oneway ANOVA test, Student's t-test. P values < 0.05 were accepted as statistically significant. RESULTS In all parameters, the average values of males were statistically significantly higher than those of females (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the mesio-distal, antero-posterior, and supero-inferior frontal sinus measurement between the right and left sides in all cases (p>0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in terms of total anterioposterior measurement among age groups (p<0.05). CONCLUSION(S) This study revealed that the measurements of frontal sinuses and other cranial parametres can be useful in sex determination using CBCT.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFrontal Sinus MorphometryCBCTDetermination of SexConference Object10.1016/j.identj.2024.07.68274Supplement 1S37S37Q1Q1
