Morphometric Analysis on Supraorbital Notches and Foramina in South Indian Skull

摘要

AIM: To do morphometric analysis on supraorbital notch and foramen. OBJECTIVE :To find the occurrence of supraorbital notch or foramen and also distance between supraorbital notch or foramen from glabella.MATERIALS: Skulls, Survey sheet, vernier calliper.BACK GROUND: In this research the morphometric analysis of the supraorbital notches and SOF will be studied in 70 dry human skulls from the Anatomy Department of Saveetha Dental College. A clear knowledge regarding the supraorbital notches and foramina is essential for clinicians to avoid the injury of neurovascular bundle passing through the same. REASON :I was interested in this topic as I wanted to know the reason for the difference in structure in different individuals and also I wanted to know the distance of this structure from glabella.
