Abstract
In forensic science finger prints, foot prints, dental patterns, bones, skulls, sutures are the commonly used tools for identification of an individual. Recently paranasal sinuses have attracted attention of anatomist anthropologist, forensic experts. Availability of even a small piece of frontal bone containing an intact frontal air sinus is sufficient for purpose of identification as well as knowing sex. Present study is conducted on 80 individuals. Frontal sinus study is carried out by taking radiographs. These radiographs are minutely studied under the heading of height, breadth, surface area with the help of three different methods. ‘t’ test is applied and sex is determined with available resources. ‘t’ test shows significance for all parameters. Various workers have studied frontal sinus. In present study we have compared above measurements with the previous studies. It is observed after detail study that the conclusion of present study is similar as the previous studies.
