Purpose: The purpose of this study is to study the anatomical localization of the infraorbital channel (IOC) and infraorbital sulcus (IOS) using conic radiated computer tomography (KIBT).   Material and Method: In our study, 125 patients’ KIBT images were retrospective examined and the anatomical characteristics of IOC and IOS were determined. Results: IOC length is 11.73 ± 1.90 mm, IOS length is 16.15 ± 2.90 mm, the angle between the two is 154.3 ± 8.57° and the angle of the direction of the channel is 41.02 ± 7.60° with the horizontal flatness. The result: This study shows that determining the distances of the anatomical points of the KIBT that are of a surgical importance may be a guide for the prevention of damage to the neurovascular structures during the maxillopathic surgery, local anesthesia applications and other invasive processes. Keywords: Infrared computer tomography, infrared canal, infrared sulkus RETROSPECTIVE MORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE INFRAORBITAL CANAL AND INFRAORBITAL SULCUS WITH CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ABSTRACT Aim: The aim of our study is to evaluate of anatomical localization of infrared foramen, canal and sulcus by using cone beam computed tomography. Material and Method: In this descriptive study, cone beam computed tomography images of 125 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Infraorbital canal and sulcus's anatomical variation are determined. Results: The average length of the infraorbital canal was 11.73 ± 1.90 mm, the infraorbital sulcus was 16.15 ± 2.90 mm, the angle between two of them was 154.3 ± 8. 57° and the angle between the horizontal plane and the direction of the channel was 41.02 ± 7.60°. Conclusion: This study suggests that cone beam computed tomography may lead the way for prevention of damage to neurovascular structures during maxillofacial surgery by determining the distance of surgically important anatomical landmarks, local anesthesia practices and other invasive procedures. Keywords: Cone beam computed tomography, infraorbital canal, infraorbital sulcus
