Abstract
Objective: Evaluation of the change in incisive foramen (IF) diameter and localization according to age, gender, edentulous status and other anatomical landmarks by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
 Materials and Methods: 162 patients (81 females, 81 males, mean age 41.1+_15.2) were included in the study. IF diameter, distance between IF and the greater palatine foramen (GPF) and distance between IF and the most posterior of the median palatine bone (PNS: posterior nasal spine) were measured. The measurement values of the patients were compared with the Independent t-test according to gender and dental status. The relationship between age and measurements was examined with the Pearson correlation test.
 Results: The mean IF diameter of the patients was 3.78±0.95 mm. The mean IF diameter (p
