    Assessing the Anatomical Variations of Lingual Foramen and its Bony Canals with CBCT taken from 120 Patients
    (International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research, 2023-02) Chalkoo, Altaf Hussain; Rajput, Deeksha
    Introduction: The lingual foramen is situated in the midline, level with or superior to the genial tubercles. It contains blood vessels that supply the anterior mandible. This study was conducted with aim of assessing the anatomical variations of lingual foramen & its bony canals with Cone Beam Computed Tomography imaging within the local population.Also,to evaluate the correlation between various measurements taken with Age and Sex. Material and methods: This retrospective radiographic study was conducted in the department of oral medicine and Radiology, Govt Dental College & Hospital, Srinagar which included 120 patients (60 males and 60 females). Their CBCT were subjected to various measurements in cognizance with objectives of the study.Radiographic types and morphometric measurement were recorded. Radiographically subtypes of lingual foramen were recorded according to classifation given by Sekerci AE(2014) Results: In our study, all 120(100%) patients showed median lingual foramen, some patients also showed paramedian position (4 males and 3 females) Double lingual foramen (55.8%) is shown in most of the cases followed by single foramen (38.3%) .There was significant difference between gender seen in single lingual foramen (p-value 0.024). Type I lingual foramen was most (33.3%) commonly found followed by type VI(30.85%) Conclusion: There is wide range of anatomical variation of lingual vascular canals in respects of number, position and dimension.CBCT is a three-dimensional radiographic imaging modality with greatly reduced doses of radiation and high accuracy.Results will be discussed in detail in presentation.

    Incidence of different morphological types of sella turcica: Cephalometric study
    (Educational Society For Excellence, 2022-10) Ahmad, Jahangir; Chalkoo, Altaf Hussain; Bhat, Tariq Ahmad
    Introduction: Sella turcica (ST) is a saddle-shaped structure located on the intracranial surface of the sphenoid bone in the middle cranial fossa. The sella turcica serves as an important anatomical reference in orthodontics partly because the s-point, placed centrally in the sella region, is a central fix point in cephalometric analysis and partly because the contour of the anterior wall is used in evaluation of craniofacial growth. Morphologically, three basic types - oval, round, and flat - have been classified, the oval and round types being the most common. Aim and objectives: To describe the predominant morphological shape of sella turcica. Materials and methods: Prospective clinical study which was conducted in the Postgraduate Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology of Government Dental College and Hospital Srinagar. This prospective study included total of digital lateral cephalometric radiographs of 180 patients (90 males and 90 females) between 12-65 years of age, Digital lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken by using CARESTREAM SC8100 machine Results: Morphology of sella turcica was found to be typical in just 33.9% of cases. Within the atypical sellae most had oblique anterior wall (27.2%), followed by double contour of the floor (15%), pyramidal shape (14.4%), irregular dorsum sella (6.7%) and bridging (2.8%). Conclusion: Morphological types of sella turcica in this study can be used as reference for additional investigators such as radiologists, orthodontists, maxillofacial surgeons, and neurosurgeons to interpret and plan surgical procedures involving the sellar region
