[Pneumatisation of the temporal articular eminence: radiographic study in a Senegalese population].

Introduction: Pneumatisation of the zygomatic air cell defect (ZACD) is a rarely seen anatomical variation, a chance discovery but relevant in the planning of temporomandibular joint surgery. The objective of this work was to study the presence and radiographic aspects of pneumatization of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone in a Senegalese population.

Material And Methods: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional study of 444 panoramic radiographs of Senegalese patients in an age range from 5 to 86 years.

Sexual dimorphism and infraorbital foramen: a computerized tomography-scan study in a cohort of Senegalese population.

Background: The infraorbital foramen (IOF) is an essential anatomical structure for maxillary block anesthesia in dental practice and maxillofacial surgery. The literature also reports the importance of knowing the morphometric characteristics of the IOF because it can be damaged. The aim of our study was to determine anthropometric characteristics of infraorbital foramen in Senegalese population in relationship with the sex.
