The maxillary sinus growth is initiated 3 months after birth, and it grows lateral and inferior until the pneumatization of the alveolar bone occurs. The facial skeleton has recently been determined as affecting the maxillary sinus, prompting additional studies on changes in the size of the maxillary sinus. This study aimed to determine the size of the maxillary sinus using a 3D program after categorizing South Korean adults according to their facial index (FI) classification. The participants of this study were 60 patients in their 20s, who visited the orthodontic department of Dankook University Dental Hospital (approval no. DUDH IRB 2015-12-022). The CBCT of the patients were extracted and measured as 3D images using Mimics (version 22.0, Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Upon categorizing the subjects based on their FI classification, they were grouped into the mesoprosopic, leptoprosopic, and hyperleptoprosopic types. A one-way ANOVA was performed to evaluate the mean differences of the maxillary sinus, depending on the FI classification. In this study, the maxillary sinus tended to be wider in those with mesoprosopic type, and tended to be higher in the hyperleptoprosopic type, suggesting a need for clinicians to focus to the shape of the face during clinical treatments.
上颌窦的生长始于出生后 3 个月，它向外侧和下方生长，直到牙槽骨发生气腔化。最近发现面颅骨会影响上颌窦，这促使人们对上颌窦大小的变化进行了更多的研究。本研究旨在通过对韩国成年人进行面部指数（FI）分类，使用 3D 程序确定上颌窦的大小。本研究的参与者是 60 名 20 多岁的患者，他们访问了檀国大学牙科医院的正畸科（批准号：DUDHIRB2015-12-022）。使用 Mimics（版本 22.0，Materialise，比利时鲁汶）从患者的 CBCT 中提取并测量 3D 图像。根据 FI 分类对受试者进行分类后，将他们分为中面型、长面型和超长面型。采用单因素方差分析评估 FI 分类对上颌窦平均差异的影响。在这项研究中，中面型患者的上颌窦较宽，超长面型患者的上颌窦较高，这表明临床医生在临床治疗中需要关注面部的形状。
