Abstract

The anatomical dimensions of the maxillary sinus may vary across populations, with limited cadaveric data available for the North Indian population. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the morphometric dimensions of the maxillary sinus in North Indian cadavers, assessing bilateral variations. The results revealed the mean sinus height, width, anteroposterior length and volume in this population. Slight variations were noted between sides, but the differences were not statistically significant. Thus, we report baseline morphometric data of the maxillary sinus in the North Indian population to aid safer surgical planning.
