Range of variability of the morphometric indicators of the piriform aperture of men depending on craniotype

Abstract

The maxillofacial region is an anatomically complex area that includes structures of a peculiar shape. This can add difficulty to their display on tomograms and complicate the interpretation of these images. Therefore, perfect knowledge of the tomographic anatomy of the maxillofacial region is absolutely necessary. The aim was to study the morphometric parameters of the piriform aperture of men depending on the craniotype. Conclusions. 1. The range of variability of the height, width, perimeter and area of the piriform aperture of men is determined. 2. It was established that the investigated parameters do not depend on the type of facial skull structure.
