Morphometricanalysis of Infra Orbital Foremen
K. Pavithra, Affshana Mahamutha
Abstract: Aim The AIM of this study is to compare morphometric measurements of the infraorbital foramen in dry Indian skulls Objective To assess the dimensions and position of the infra orbital foremen and to conclude the size of the foramen using Dry Indian skulls. Background Analyzing the variability in position, shape, size and incidence of the infraorbital foramen in Indian dry skulls .The vertical and horizontal dimensions were also measured. All measurements were taken with a compass transferred to calipers and analyzed statistically.The infraorbital foramen is an opening in the maxillary bone of the skull located below the infraorbital margin of the orbit (eye socket). It allows passage for the infraorbital artery, vein, and nerve which are branches of the maxillary branch (V2) of the trigeminal nerve (CN V). Materials and methods Twenty dry human adult skulls were examined at the Department of Anatomy, saveetha dental college
Keywords: Keywords:-infraorbital foramen ,calliper measurement, morphology of foramen.
