Morphometric study of Infraorbital Foramen in Dry Adult Human skulls and maxillas in West Bengal Region

Dr. Pratibha Gupta, Dr. Ramesh P

Abstract :

The study aims to shows the morphometric differences of infraorbital foramen (IOF) in Bengal population and differences in different continents. 100 IOF were examined in this study (20 skulls and 60 maxillae) after distinguish of sex in the department of anatomy, IQ city medical college, Durgapur. The distance from the IOF to infra orbital margin (IOM) and lateral border of piriform aperture were measured by digital Digital Vernier calliper. The distance between IOF and IOM WAS found more on right side in males and on left side in females. But distance between IOF and piriform aperture was more on left side in both the sexes and this measurements were differs from other continents. This study gives useful predictor for finding the location of IOF on sides and sexes of Bengal population.
