A computed tomography study in the location of greater palatine artery in South Indian population for maxillary osteotomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION The greater palatine artery is one of the important feeding vessel to the maxilla. The surgeon should know the surgical anatomy of greater palatine artery to avoid trauma in maxilla which leads to ischemic problems. AIM The CT evaluation of the distance between Pyriform aperture and the greater palatine foramen in various ages of both sexes. RESULT The distance varies according to sex and age which are measured by CT and standardised. DISCUSSION The lateral nasal osteotomy can be done upto 25 mm depth, instead of 20 mm. CONCLUSION By this study it shows that the lateral nasal wall osteotomy can be performed without injury to greater palatine artery.

Evaluation of the Position and Course of the Posterior Superior Alveolar Artery by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in an Iranian Population
Background and Aim: Understanding the vascular anatomy of the maxillary sinus plays an important role in the success of sinus grafting and determining the location of lateral osteotomy. The aim of the present study was to localize the posterior superior al-veolar artery (PSAA) and to measure the distance from this vascular canal to the maxil-lary sinus floor and alveolar crest by cone-beam comp...

Introduction: The horizontal bony canal in the lateral maxillary wall is the site of anastomosis between the arterial branches from the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAa) and the infraorbital artery. This anatomic structure is known as the ‘alveolar antral artery’. Materials and Methods: We performed a literature review. The anatomic location of the alveolar antral artery in the latera...

PURPOSE Understanding the anatomy of the pterygomaxillary junction region helps prevent blood loss in Le Fort I osteotomy. Here, we determined the location of the descending palatine artery and the structure of the pterygomaxillary region. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study group consisted of 82 Japanese patients with mandibular prognathism and asymmetry, with and without maxillary retrognathism ...
متن کاملCBCT Evaluation of the Position of Palatal Neurovascular Bundle and the Greater Palatine Foramen in an Iranian Population
Background and Aim: Traumatization of the palatal neurovascular bundle (NVB) is a potential complication of soft tissue graft harvesting from the palate. Thus, it is imper-ative to have adequate knowledge about the position and path of the NVB. This study assessed the position of palatal NVB and the greater palatine foramen (GPF) in an Ira-nian population using cone-beam computed tomography (CB...
