A Comparison of the Morphologic and Morphometric Properties of the Maxillary Foramen Incisivum in the 13th Century Late Byzantine Era and Contemporary Skulls

A Comparison of the Morphologic and Morphometric Properties of the Maxillary Foramen Incisivum in the 13th Century Late Byzantine Era and Contemporary Skulls The comparison of the morphological and morphometric features of the maxillary foramen incisivum were made following measurements on 32 late Byzantine (13th century) and 24 contemporary (21th century) skulls or maxilla. Maxillary foramen incisivum; diameter of foramen incisivum, distance between foramen incisivum and foramen palatinum majus as right-left, distance between the furthermost point of third dens molaris serotinus as right-left, distance between spina nasalis posterior, distance between sutura palatina transversa, the length between foramen palatinum majus, the distance between the closest point of the dens incisivus medialis was measured as right-left. The values obtained, recorded statistical calculations were made and comparisons were made between the present time and the Late Byzantine era skulls, right and left sides. We believe that the values we obtained from this thesis study will contribute to anthropology and medical education by bringing them to the literature. We think that it is a useful study pointing to the position measurements of the maxillary foramen incisivum, which has been the subject of very little study.
