Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the dimensions of the frontal and maxillary sinuses are affected by differences in vertical direction growth patterns and gender differences in individuals with skeletal Class I relationships, using lateral cephalometric radiographs. Method: In this retrospective study, 60 individuals (30 females, 30 males, mean age; 18.07 ± 1.77 years) with skeletal Class I relationship (038°) individuals. Frontal and maxillary sinus measurements were performed on digital lateral cephalometric radiographs of 20 individuals (10 females, 10 males) in each group. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis, independent samples t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data. Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the groups in terms of height, width, surface area and index measurements of the frontal and maxillary sinuses (p>0.05). In comparisons between genders, statistically significant differences were found in all parameters except the mean maxillary sinus width and frontal sinus height (p<0.05), and all parameters except the frontal sinus index were determined to be higher in males compared to females. Conclusion: It was observed that the differences in vertical growth pattern did not effect the frontal and maxillary sinus dimensions and index values of these sinuses. It was determined that the frontal and maxillary sinuses dimensions were larger in males compared to females.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, frontal ve maksiller sinüslerin boyutlarının iskeletsel Sınıf I ilişkiye sahip bireylerde dik yön büyüme paternlerindeki farklılıklardan ve cinsiyet farklılıklarından etkilenip etkilenmediğinin lateral sefalometrik radyografiler kullanılarak değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmada iskeletsel Sınıf I ilişkiye sahip (038°) bireylerden oluşan üç gruba ayrılmıştır. Her grupta yer alan 20 bireye (10 kadın ve 10 erkek) ait dijital lateral sefalometrik radyografiler üzerinde frontal ve maksiller sinüs ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis, bağımsız örneklem t-testi ve Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Frontal ve maksiller sinüslere ait yükseklik, genişlik, yüzey alanı ve indeks ölçümleri açısından gruplar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmamıştır (p˃0.05). Cinsiyetler arası karşılaştırmalarda ortalama maksiller sinüs genişliği ve frontal sinüs yüksekliği hariç tüm parametrelerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuş (p<0.05) ve frontal sinüs indeksi dışındaki tüm parametrelerin erkeklerde kadınlara göre daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Dik yön büyüme paternindeki farklılıkların frontal ve maksiller sinüs boyutlarını ve bu sinüslere ait indeks değerlerini etkilemediği görülmüştür. Erkek bireylerde frontal ve maksiller sinüs boyutlarının kadın bireylere göre daha büyük olduğu belirlenmiştir.
