The frontal sinuses are situated in the frontal bone between the outer and inner plates of the bone. A good knowledge on dimensions is relevant for successful surgery.
This study was carried out to determine the dimorphic potential of the frontal sinuses and to ascertain the accuracy in sex determination using the logistic regression model among Edo people of Nigeria.
It was a 7 years retrospective study on the Edo, utilizing posterior-anterior radiographs of frontal sinuses in University of Benin Teaching Hospital. The right and left frontal sinus heights and widths were measured in centimeter.
The data were analyzed using independent samples -test and logistic regression with the aid of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20. ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.
All dimensions were higher in males than in females, wherein the the left side height and width were statistically significant ( < 0.05). Left side frontal sinus width gave the highest accuracy of 60% in sex determination using logit regression.
The dimorphic nature of the left dimensions has implications for human identification.
额窦位于额骨内外板之间。了解其尺寸对于成功进行手术至关重要。
本研究旨在确定尼日利亚江户人群中额窦的二态性潜力，并使用逻辑回归模型确定性别判定的准确性。
这是一项对江户人群进行的为期7年的回顾性研究，利用贝宁大学教学医院的额窦前后位X线片。以厘米为单位测量左右额窦的高度和宽度。
借助社会科学统计软件包第20版，使用独立样本t检验和逻辑回归对数据进行分析。P≤0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
所有尺寸男性均高于女性，其中左侧的高度和宽度具有统计学意义（P<0.05）。使用逻辑回归时，左侧额窦宽度在性别判定中的准确率最高，为60%。
左侧尺寸的二态性对人类身份识别具有重要意义。
