Introduction: The purpose of this research was to pinpoint the “greater palatine foramen (GPF)” in India with respect to other maxillary anatomical landmarks. Textbooks often identify the GPF as being between certain teeth or positioned opposite the last molar. The goal of this study was to offer a more precise location for GPF in the maxilla. Aim and Objectives: This study investigates the greater palatine foramen’s anatomy and clinical significance to the artery. Method: The objective of this study was to examine the spatial location of the greater palatine foramen in relation to specific anatomical features in both male and female skulls. A study was conducted on a sample of 100 adult skulls from Gujarat, India, comprising 59 males, 40 females, and 1 undetermined specimen. Distances between the foramen and significant landmarks were determined by employing Vernier callipers to get measurements. A quantitative assessment was conducted to evaluate morphological variances and gender-related differences. Result: In male and female skulls, Table 1 shows the millimetre distances between the larger palatine foramen and the median palatine suture. In Table 2, the foramen’s distances from the posterior hard palate are comparable. Table 3 categorises foramen locations in relation to maxillary molars and shows M3 prevalence in males (88.13%) and females (92.5%). The opening directions in Table 4 show a vertical orientation. Three women and three men participated in the study. Conclusion: The larger palatine foramen was found near the third molar in 87.5% of skulls. This is relevant to trigeminal nerve block and anaesthesia.
