Abstract
Background: The bony orbit which lodges the visual apparatus is important not only for anatomists but also forophthalmologists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and forensic experts. The objectives of the Present study areto provide the normal reference orbital parameters for the north Indian population.Materials and Methods: The study involved 215 dry skulls (83 female & 132 males) from the department ofanatomy from GSVM Kanpur, KGMC Lucknow, SMC Unnao. Orbital height (OH), orbital width (OW) has been takenof both side skulls in male and female. Orbital index (OI) was calculated by OH/OW × 100= OI. All thesemeasurements are taken by digital vernier caliper.Result: Mean orbital height in male skull was 33.8 ± 1.27, while female skull was having 31.2 ± 0.98. Orbitalwidth was 42.64 ± 2.16 in male and 40.85 ± 2.08 was measured in female and the orbital index was 83.45 and77.96 in male then after in female and these all values are found to be statically highly significant. Whilecomparing the right and left sided skull the height was 32.37 ± 1.08, 30.96 ± 0.85 while breadth was 40.31 ± 2.28and 40.28 ± 2.02 and the orbital index was 80.75 ± 5.60 and 80.67 ± 5.31 founded only orbital height have highlysignificant value and width and index having nonsignifacant value.Conclusion: We can conclude by our study that right orbit and male orbits have higher values In comparison toopposite side and sex having more value. Study also tells that male skull Is categorized under mesoseme andfemale in microseme categories of north Indian populations. It is recommended that further population basedstudies be carried out in different geographical locations
