Abstract
Background: Methods for human identification, including sex determination, must enable the examination of severely burned, damaged, or decomposed bodies. Maxillofacial structures that can be used to determine sex include the maxillary sinus and mandibular canal. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a non-invasive, high-resolution method that can visualize maxillofacial anatomy, including the maxillary sinus and the mandibular canal. CBCT provides detailed measurements of any anatomical structure for forensic identification. Aim: To evaluate the usefulness of a method to determine sex based on maxillary sinus size and mandibular canal position.
