Retrospective Evaluation of Nasopalatine Canal Anatomy, Dimensions, and Variations with Alveolar Bone in Patients Scheduled for Maxillary Anterior Dental Implant Surgery Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography.

ABSTRACT: Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the anatomical structure, dimensions, and variations in the nasopalatine canal using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in patients undergoing implant treatment in the maxillary anterior region. The goal was to identify potential risks and complications that may arise during surgical procedures. Additionally, canal shape, number, and its relationship with gender and nasal septa were assessed as secondary parameters. Methods: This retrospective study included CBCT scans of 185 patients who applied for implant treatment in the anterior maxilla between January 2021 and December 2023. Patients with edentulous anterior maxillae and no pathological lesions in the implant region were included. CBCT images were analyzed in sag
