VARIATION IN LOCATION OF GREATER PALATINE FORAMEN IN DRY HUMAN SKULL.
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
The position of the greater palatine foramen varies between standard anatomy texts and various anthropometric studies . This study was done to locate the position of the foramen in relation to the maxillary molars in dry human skulls in Indian population.This study also examined the greater palatines foramen and its distance from the mid palatine suture.
AIM
To measure the variation in location of greater palatine foramen in dry human skulls.
MATERIALS & METHODOLOGY
A total of 61 adult dry human skulls were selected.
With full complement of teeth with fully erupted 3rd molars.
• Measurements were made from the mid sagital plane to the middle …show more content…
Anesthetizing this nerve would provide anaesthesia of the posterior lingual soft tissue part of the maxilla .The exact location of the foramen is unknown and various standard texts books provide only a general location and position of the foramen e.g lateral slope of the hard palate , between the 2nd and 3rd molar2 or medial to the 3rd molar3 …show more content…
Wang T6.6et al stated that distance between the mid sagittal plane and the greater palatine foramen to be 16mm and in most cases the foramen was found to be located between the maxillary second and third molar. D.Methathrathip7 et al in his study observed the distance between the mid sagittal plane to the greater palatine foramen to be around 16.2±1.3mm and the location of the foramen to be located palatal to the upper third molar in most of his
