ABSTRACT
Background: The orbit is a craniofacial structure that can beaffected by a large number of congenital, traumatic, neoplastic,vascular, and endocrine disorders. Therefore, the presentstudy was conducted to assess dimensions of orbital roof andfloor in dry skulls.Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted toassess dimensions of orbital roof and floor in 55 dry skullswhich were collected from the Department of Anatomy,Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College & Research Centre,TMU, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. Based on themorphology, skulls were differentiated into 36 male and 19female skulls. The roof length and floor length of the orbit wasmeasured. The data obtained were tabulated and analyzedusing Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, Version 21.0(SPSS, Chicago, IL). The results were considered significantwhen p < 0.05.Results: In the present study total sample size was 55 dryskulls in which 36 were male skulls and 19 were female skulls.In male mean roof length was 5.43 and in female mean rooflength was 4.65. In male mean floor length was 4.81 and infemale mean floor length was 4.76. The right mean roof lengthwas 4.22 and left mean roof length was 4.93. In right meanfloor length was 4.45 and left mean floor length was 4.86.Conclusion: Present study concluded that mean roof lengthand floor length was greater in males. The left roof and floorlength were greater than right roof length.
