چکیده

background: implant placement plays a vital role in oral rehabilitation following loss of the incisors. thus, having knowledge of anatomical variations of adjacent neurovascular structures especially the nasopalatine canal (npc) is essential. due to the lack of basic information in iran about the morphology of this canal and the probability of its variety in different populations, this study was designed on an iranian population. materials and methods: in this descriptive study, we selected cone-beam computed tomography images of 198 patients comprising of 98 males and 100 females in two dental groups (edentulous or dentate). the shape of the nasopalatine foramen and the form of the canal in axial views were assessed. then, the canal height and its diameter at the palatal, middle and nasal levels in crosssectional images were measured. the available bone in the buccal and palatal sides of the canal was assessed. data analysis was carried out using a chi-square test and an independent t -test ( p ≤ 0.05). results: the majority of the samples (81.8%) presented a single foramen. cylindrical shape (57.6%) was the most frequently detected canal form. the mean of the estimated canal height was 12.84 ± 2.88 mm. the canal diameter at the palatal level between the sexes and dental groups showed statistically signifi cant differences. conclusion: in our investigated population, the npc form was mainly cylindrical with a single opening foramen. the mean of the canal height was higher than that found in other populations. furthermore, the canal diameter in the edentulous group was greater than that observed in the other group. key words: cone-beam computed tomography, dental implant, maxilla, nasopalatine canal, oral surgical procedure

Anatomic variations of sphenoid sinus from Cone Beam Computed Tomography images in the Iranian population

Aims: Sphenoid sinus is one of the most inaccessible paranasal sinus, and is closely correlated to many vascular and neural structures. Anatomic variation of the sphenoid sinus can complicate surgery in this area. The aim of the present investigation was to define the sphenoid sinus variations and the relevant structures using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: This cross-sectiona...

assessment of nasopalatine canal anatomic variations using cone beam computed tomography in a group of iranian population

conclusion this study has highlighted the anatomical variations of npc regarding its dimension, location and morphological appearance. cylindrical was the most common shape followed by funnel-shape, hourglass, and spindle, which were the other canal shapes with less frequency, respectively. the results suggest significant relationship between npc, and gender and dental status. the influence of ...

Prevalence of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve’s Anterior Loop and Mandibular Incisive Canal by Use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in an Iranian Population.

Background and aim: Mental nerve injury is one of the challenges of implant surgeries in the anterior mandibular region, which leads to complications such as paresthesia of the lip and chin. The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve's (IAN) anterior loop and mandibular incisive canal by use of  CBCT. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive stud...
