Dissertation
Ontogenetic Change of the Orbital Cavity, Anterior Cranial Fossa and Paranasal Sinuses: A Viability Study for Subadult Age Estimation
2024
Overview
This study examines the growth trajectories of the orbital cavity, anterior cranial fossa and paranasal sinuses within the human skull through ontogenetic growth. Five hundred subadult individuals (0-20 years of age) were analyzed through CT scans and digital 3D model reconstruction. Linear distances, volumes and geometric morphometrics (based on fixed landmarks and semi-landmark curves) were employed to observe the morphological transformation in these regions through ontogeny. This dissertation investigates whether the regions of interest are significantly associated with age after the initial exponential growth that occurs from ages 0-6.99 years, and whether they are accurate predictors of chronological or biological age in subadult skeletal remains. The variables representing the ACF stabilized in growth before the variables representing the orbit or paranasal sinuses. The maxillary sinus exhibited the strongest association with age across the growth process and demonstrated the highest predictive ability. Many fields including anatomy, forensics, and archaeology, utilize age estimation techniques to analyze subadult skeletal remains. This study aims to evaluate the viability of a novel age estimation technique that could be used alongside traditional aging methods such as dental eruption and epiphyseal fusion, or serve as a replacement when the elements necessary for those methods are not present.
