Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the morphological and morphometric characteristics of the incisive foramen and incisive canal in dry human skulls. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 150 dry adult skulls, with no distinction regarding sex or ethnicity. The analysis included the number of incisive canals within the foramen, their dimensions (area and diameter), and their anatomical connections with the incisive fossa and the nasal cavity. Results: All incisive canals were found to communicate with the nasal cavity. The most frequently observed configuration was foramina containing two or more canals. Conclusion: Precise anatomical knowledge about the incisive canal and its foramen is essential for clinical procedures involving the anterior maxilla. Morphological variations in this region may affect surgical access, technique selection, and procedural outcomes.

干裂颅骨的形态学和形态计量学分析。

目的：研究干颅骨的切孔和切管的形态学特征。材料和方法：样本由150个干燥的成人头骨组成，没有性别和种族的区别。分析包括孔内的切开管的数量，它们的尺寸（面积和直径）以及它们与切开窝和鼻腔的解剖联系。结果：所有的鼻道均与鼻腔相通。最常观察到的结构是含有两个或更多管的孔。结论：准确了解上颌骨前切管及其孔的解剖学知识对临床手术至关重要。该区域的形态学变化可能影响手术通路、技术选择和手术结果。
