Method: 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<.001), the distance between the right GPF and the IF (P=.023) and the distance between the IF and the PNS (P=.039) of the dentate patients were found to be significantly lower than the edentulous patients. Conclusion: The IF diameter and the IF-GPF distance were found to be lower in dentulous patients than in edentulous patients. It was determined that the IF diameter and the IF-GPF distance increased with age. © 2024, Ataturk Universitesi.
