Annotation. Knowing the exact position of the openings in the facial part of the skull, through which vessels and nerves pass, is extremely important for performing operative, reconstructive and other interventions in this area. Since there is considerable variability in the position of the supraorbital (SOH), infraorbital (IOH) and submental (SMOH) holes, the purpose of our work is to determine the exact spatial position of the above-mentioned holes relative to cranial points and bony landmarks depending on the facial index of a mature person. Studies were conducted on 52 bone preparations of skulls using commonly accepted instruments and 60 CT images of mature Caucasians without pathology of the bones of the facial part of the skull. Studies on CT images were carried out using a virtual Anatomage table using the Launching Table 6.0 Application program. Statistical methods were used to analyze the obtained measurement results in our research, which was carried out with the help of the Microsoft Excel 2010 © licensed program package and with the help of the “STATISTYCA” program. To determine the interdependence of features in the general population, a correlation analysis was performed. In the course of the study, we determined the average values of the distances from the SOH, IOH and SMOH to the following craniological points: nasion (n.), nasospinale (ns) and frontomalare orbitale (fmo) depending on the facial index. Analyzing the obtained data, significant differences in the position of the above-mentioned openings to the corresponding craniological points were clearly observed depending on the type of structure of the facial part of the skull. There was an increase in the distances from the SOH and IOH to the nasion point and the frontmolar orbital point in euryprosopics, and smaller results were obtained in leptoprosopics. The average values of the distance indicators from the SOH, IOH and SMOH to the nasolabial point were significantly larger in leptoprosopics, in contrast to euryprosopics. When determining the size of the supraorbital margin and the distance from the SOH to the supraorbital margin, euryprosopics prevailed. The obtained results of measuring the distance from the IOH to the edge of the upper jaw and from the SMOH to the upper and lower edges of the lower jaw indicate an increase in these distances in long-faced (leptoprosopic) in contrast to wide-faced (euryprosopic). The results of the study indicate the dependence of the position of the openings of the facial part of the skull on the facial index, which will make it easier in clinical practice to determine the position of the nerves and vessels coming out of these openings.

Several researchers have analyzed the collocation of infraorbital foramen, but no study has so far considered the possible influence of cranial size. Three measurements (distances from anterior nasal spine, inferior orbital rim, angle at the intersection between the line from anterior nasal spine and the transversal plane parallel to the Frankfurt plane) were taken on 100 skulls belonging to a contemporary skeletal collection. In addition, maximum cranial length, maximum cranial breadth, cranial height, and bizygomatic breadth were measured, together with 2 indices (horizontal cephalic index and Giardina Y-index). Differences according to sex and side were assessed through 2-way analysis of variance test (P <0.05). Measurements showing statistically significant differences according to sex were further assessed through 1-way analysis of covariance test including cranial measurements and indices as covariates (P <0.05). Statistically significant differences according to sex and side were found respectively for the distance from anterior nasal spine and the angle at infraorbital foramen (P <0.05). One-way analysis of covariance test verified that the sexual dimorphism of infraorbital foramen- anterior nasal spine distance was independent from the general measurements of cranium. The present study first proved that sexually dimorphic parameters useful for the localization of infraorbital foramen do not depend upon the cranium size.
