Abstract：
Aim This study aims to investigate the relationship between the frontal sinus index and different stages of cervical vertebral maturation and to determine whether these measurements can be used as accurate markers for evaluating skeletal maturity. Materials and methods The sample size was 120 subjects, with ages that ranged from 8 to 25 years. Standardized pretreatment digital lateral cephalograms were analyzed. Six groups representing different phases of cervical vertebral maturation were created from the entire sample. Each group had 20 subjects and was split into male and female groups. On the same radiograph, the cervical stages were assessed and the frontal sinus index was calculated. Correlations between the frontal sinus index and cervical vertebral maturation were assessed using statistical analysis. Results Sinus index values, which assess the ratio of frontal sinus dimensions to cervical stages, were found to be comparable between the two adjacent cervical stages. However, the patterns of sinus index values differed between males and females, suggesting potential variations in sinus development between the sexes. Conclusion Frontal sinus height and width were significantly correlated with cervical vertebral maturation stages in both sexes. The frontal sinus index, on the other hand, was not significant.
摘要：
目的本研究旨在探讨额窦指数与颈椎成熟的不同阶段之间的关系，并确定这些测量是否可以用作评估骨骼成熟度的准确标记。材料与方法样本量为120名受试者，年龄从8到25岁不等。分析了标准化预处理数字侧位头颅图。从整个样本中创建代表颈椎成熟不同阶段的六组。每组有20名受试者，分为男性和女性组。在同一张射线照片上，评估宫颈分期并计算额窦指数.使用统计分析评估额窦指数与颈椎成熟度之间的相关性。结果窦指数值,评估额窦尺寸与宫颈分期的比率，被发现在两个相邻的子宫颈阶段之间具有可比性。然而,男性和女性的窦性心指数值模式不同，提示性别之间鼻窦发育的潜在差异。结论男女患者额窦的高度和宽度与颈椎成熟阶段有显著相关性。额窦指数,另一方面,并不重要。
