3) The rate of location of perforations was 43.5% in the antero-inferior quadrant, 27.8% in central area, and 20.1% in postero-inferior quadrant.
4) The size of perforations was as follows. Grade I, 14 cases (60.%); Grade II, 108 cases(46.2%); Grade III, 61 cases (26.1%); GradeIV, 36 cases(15.4%), Grade V, 15 cases (6.3%).
5) The shape of perforations was variable, Irregular round, 133 cases (56.9%), Round, 58 cases(24.8%), Linear, 14 cases(5.6%), Triangular, 12 cases(5.3%), Semicircular, 10 cases(5.1%), Star-like shape, 7 cases(2.3%).
