Naso-incisive notch
Incisura nasoincisiva

The nasoincisive notch is a bony indentation formed by the lateral border of the nasal bone and the apex of the incisive bone.
It contributes to defining the osseous nasal aperture and marks the transition between the dorsal facial skeleton (nasal bone) and the incisive region.
