“…Also, 54.8% of the IOF were circular, and the mean diameter of the foramina was 3.71 ± 0.63 mm, which did not show any statistically significant difference in all age groups [ 16 ]. Ali et al [ 9 ], Ilayperuma et al [ 18 ], and Zdilla et al [ 19 ] reported the presence of IOF above the vertical axis of the second premolar. However, in a study conducted in a cohort of Cameroonian adults, the IOF was located at the line passing below the maxillary first molar [ 17 ].…”

Objective: The location of infraorbital foramen varies between geographic locations. Thus, population-specific information is required to facilitate the prediction of its exact location. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) sections to evaluate the distance between the infraorbital foramen and incisal edge of the maxillary central incisor, the occlusal plane of the maxillary second premolar, and the alveolar crest over the maxillary second premolar using CBCT in Central Gujarat, Indian population. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed to calculate means and standard deviations for each measured parameter. The statistical significance level was defined at p<0.05. Results: The distance between the infraorbital foramen and incisal surface of the maxillary central incisor was (mean ± standard deviation) R=49.39 ± 3.12 mm and L=49.49 ± 3.29 mm, the occlusal plane of the maxillary second premolar was R=39.02 ± 2.65 mm and L=39.49 ± 2.53 mm, and the alveolar crest over the maxillary second premolar was R=32.64 ± 2.67 mm and L=31.64 ± 2.33 mm. There was no significant difference in the mean values of all variables between genders and age groups (p>0.05). The distance between the infraorbital foramen and the alveolar crest over the maxillary second premolar was greater on the right side (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study were analogous to those observed in a cohort of the Turkish population but varied from those observed in a cohort of the Sri Lankan population. Hence, more population-specific studies are required.

Introduction the infraorbital foramen (IOF) is a hole located in the maxillary bone and delivering passage to the infra orbital vascular-nervous bundle. It is an essential structure in the management of orofacial pathologies. Its precise location allows optimal anesthesia of the infraorbital nerve during cleft lip and palate surgery or alcoholization during the management of essential V2 neuralgia. The aim of our research was to determine the morphology and morphometry of the infraorbital foramen in a sample of the Cameroonian population. Methods we included 208 CT-scans of patients meeting our search criteria. We determined the shape of the IOF and evaluated the transverse and vertical diameters of the IOF. We assessed the distance of the IOF from the maxillary alveolar crest and the infraorbital margin. The Student test was used to determine the association between different variables. The P-value of 0.05 was considered significant and the confidence interval was 95%. Results male subjects represented 52.4% (n=109) of our participants and the mean age of our population was 26 years ± 7.3. The mean transverse diameter of the left IOF was 1.97 mm ± 0.51 while 1.78 mm ± 0.53. The IOF was more often medial to the lateral palpebral commissure-nasal wing line on the left and right (78.8% and 72.6%, respectively). Our sample showed that in 54.6% (n=113) of subjects, the IOF was oval on the left side, whereas on the right side, the IOF was oval in 52.3% (n=109) of patients. Conclusion our study showed that to locate the IOF in a Cameroonian individual, one must palpate the vestibular mucosa opposite the maxillary first molar. Then, one must follow the line passing over this tooth, the IOF is located at about 7 mm from the infra-orbital border and 16 mm from the lateral nasal wall. We have shown that the IOF is located medial to the line connecting the nasal wing to the external palpebral commissure.
