Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: The objective of this work was to study the morphology and biometry of the infraorbital foramen, variations in its location, shape and size as well as to obtain measurements of its location. Methods: 70 dry skulls collected from IIMS & R and KGMU, Lucknow were analyzed for infraorbital foramen under various parameters. Observations and results: 81.4% of IOF on right side and 87.1% of IOF on the left side were in line of first premolar. Oval shape of IOF was found to be most common, in 71.4% of skulls on both sides. Average vertical diameter of infraorbital foramen on the left side was 3.08±0.85mm and on the right side was 2.93±0.78mm. The average transverse diameter was 3.27±0.85mm on the left side and 3.05±0.79mm on the right side. Mean distance of IOF from zygomaticomaxillary suture was 14.83±2.36 on the left side and 14.71±2.54 mm on the right side. Distance between IOF and midpoint of infraorbital margin was 6.92±1.81 mm on the left side and 6.75±1.85 on the right side. Distance of IOF from pyriform aperture was 16.14±1.72 on the left side and 15.79±1.76 on the right side. Conclusion: The findings of the present study can be helpful for clinicians utilizing the infraorbital nerve block for various procedures in localizing the infraorbital foramen.
