Anatomical and dimensional evaluation of the incisive canal in brazilians using cone-beam computed tomography

Objective: To evaluate the dimensions of incisive canal (IC) and foramen (IF) in dentate maxillary anterior edentulous (MAE) individuals using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: This retrospective, cross-sectional study analyzed MAE aged ≥ 50 years both sexes. Using CBCT, we measured buccal-palatal (BPW) mesial-distal (MDW) widths IF length buccal cortical (BC) palatal (PC) bones angulation (A) IC relation to nasal floor. Results: 151 CBCT were analyzed, which 74 77 with a mean age 63.3 ± 7.9 61.4 9.3, respectively. Compared group, group showed higher MDW (p = 0.034) and, IC, lower BC 0.000), PC 0.006), A 0.000). In individuals, was men when compared women 0.030). Conclusion: smaller, greater Brazilian MAE, male highlighting importance planning, absence teeth.
