Address for Correspondence: Mr. P. Murali, Assistant Professor, Department of Anatomy, SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, SRM University, Kattankulathur, Tamilnadu,India. E-Mail: [email protected] Background: The Greater Palatine Foramen is of great clinical significance, but the published descriptions about the position of this foramen in the adult human skulls have not been ...

Introduction Understanding the anatomy of pterygomandibular fossa is crucial for dentists since it is one of the target spaces for inferior alveolar nerve blocks prior to dental treatment. Failure of achieving adequate anesthesia was reported in 20% of inferior alveolar blocks [1]. The sphenomandibular ligament and the interpterygoid fascia are integral structures that define this area [2]. The...

Abstract The os paradoxum or dumb-bell-shaped bone is a paired occurring in the middle of specialized bill platypus Ornithorhynchus anatinus . It has been variously considered as neomorph platypus, homologue vomer sauropsids, part premaxillae. A review near 200-year history this element strongly supports remnant medial palatine processes premaxillae given its ontogenetic continuity with and ass...

OBJECTIVES Precise radiographic assessment of the nasopalatine canal is required to prevent implant failure. The purpose of the current study was to determine the three dimensional (3D) morphology, as well as the dimensions of the nasopalatine canal using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this descriptive cross-sectional study, maxillary CBCT images from 300 patie...

greater palatine foramen (GPF) is important for enhancing the anesthetic injection technique in the posterior palate for optimal pain control in maxillofacial and dental surgeries. The morphometric measurements of GPF along with distances from midline maxillary sutures were recorded, which are helpful for nerve block. The morphometric study was carried out on 100 adult dry human unsexed skulls ...

Background. The aims of this study were to investigate the ridge contour anterior to the nasopalatine canal, and the difference between the incidences of the nasopalatine canal perforation in dentate and partially edentulous patients by cone-beam computed tomography. Methods. Cone-beam computed tomography scan images from 72 patients were selected from database and divided into dentate and part...

Aim: To determine the anatomical variation in mental foramen and to evaluate anterior loop population of Karachi with use cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Study Design: Prospective Place duration: Department Dental Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ibad Khan Institute Oral Health Sciences Dow University during September 2021 February 2022. Methodology: A group 160 subjects were included...

this study investigates skull variation in persian jird, meriones persicus (blanford, 1875) in relation to the geoclimatical conditions across its distribution range. the pattern of correlations between geoclimatical variables and geometric shape descriptors for 221 ventral crania was studied by landmark-based geometric morphometric techniques. the covariation between shape and geoclimatical va...
