MORFOMETRİK ANALİZ KULLANILARAK INFRAORBİTAL FORAMEN LOKALİZASYONUNUN TAHMİNİ

OBJECTIVE: Determining/ Identifying the localization of infraorbital foramen (IOF) and its relationship with surrounding structures have great importance for many clinical disciplines. It is suggested that supraorbital foramen/notch (SOF/SON) can be used as a landmark to estimate location IOF. In this study, using morphometric relationships IOF SON other neighboring anatomical structures, we aimed determine safe zone intervention give some regression formulas IOF.MATERIAL AND METHODS: On 33 dry adult skulls which are unknown gender, was evaluated 14 parameters. After photographs bones were taken, measurements made Image J program.RESULTS: The mean values all given no side differences seen. identified minimum right left sides evaluate correlation between As result Spearman’s test, it observed showed high each other. Some created best formula determined IOF= 1.632 + (0.743* SON/SOF IMO) (0.184*SON/SOF canine crestal bone); 96% accuracy.CONCLUSIONS: focus point maxillofacial plastic surgery dentistry because neurovascular bundle has damage risk. reliable accuracy.
