Received Accepted Published Abstract Agenesis of the paranasal sinuses is an uncommon clinical condition that appears mainly in the frontal 12 and maxillary 5-6 sinuses in some populations it appears at a higher proportion. This study investigated the prevalence of agenesis of the frontal sinuses using dental volumetric tomography DVT in Turkish individuals. The frontal sinuses of 410 patients were examined by DVT scans in the coronal planes for evidence of the absence of the frontal sinuses. A bilateral and unilateral absence of the frontal sinuses was seen in and of cases respectively. In one case both agenesis and aplasia of the frontal sinus was seen . The low percentage of frontal sinus agenesis must be considered during pre-surgical planning related to the sinuses. DVT may be used as a diagnostic tool for the examination of frontal sinus aplasia. Key words Frontal sinus agenesis Dental volumetric computed tomography Paranasal Sinuses Introduction The frontal sinus is contained within the
