The aim of this study was to evaluate the interconnection between the type of nasopalatine canal (NPC) and morphometric characteristics of the anterior maxilla. The investigation involved 113 subjects, and the morphometric parameters were obtained using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). NPC shapes were classified into four types: banana-, hourglass-, cylindrical-, and funnel-shaped (distribution of approximately 9, 25, 31, and 35%, respectively). The analysis revealed that the NPC shape was significantly connected with the morphometric properties of anterior maxilla horizontal dimensions. In general, a banana-shaped NPC was accompanied with an overall reduction in anterior maxilla diameters when compared to other NPC shapes, with no significant difference between the other three NPC shapes. Furthermore, the morphometric characteristics that depend on NPC shape at the sagittal cross-section were significantly correlated with diameters of the incisive foramen, nasal foramen, and NPC length. According to the results of our study, it seems that the presented analyses of morphometric data may allow useful insight into the algorithms of various interconnections between the measures obtained in the region of the anterior maxilla, which could be of interest for a time rationale approach when planning some surgical procedures, such as immediate dental implant placement planning.

Brief Background : To evaluate morphologic characteristics of Nasopalatine canal (NPC) and its relative position to Maxillary central incisor root using Cone Beam Computed Tomography. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study including 282 CBCT images divided into 5 groups: Group 1) 10 – 20 years, Group 2)21 – 30 years, Group 3)31 – 40years, Group 4)41 – 50 years, Group 5) above 51 years. The length and width of the canal were measured in sagittal section. Mesio-distal width of the canal and the distance between the Nasopalatine canal and maxillary central incisor roots at mid root (MR) and apex levels were measured in axial section. Statistical analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 21.0.Mean and standard deviation were assessed for all measurements. The significance level for all the tests was set at P < 0.05. Results: The NPC length, incisive foramen width (IF) and the position of NPC to maxillary central incisor roots at midroot and apex levels showed significant difference among age groups. Gender influences NPC length, IF width, and distance of NPC to midroot of right maxillary central incisor with high statistical significance and influences Stenson’s foramen width to a certain extent (but not statistically significant). Summary and Conclusions: The NPC canal morphology showed significant variations and it is always necessary to evaluate NPC before any surgical interventions especially assessment of implant site to prevent any complications.

Objective: To evaluate the dimensions of the nasopalatine canal (NPC) and its relationship with the maxillary central incisors (MCI) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to determine variations in the NPC in relation to age and gender. Methods: CBCT scans from 333 patients (67% female; 35.9 ± 14.6 years) were included. The CBCT scan was analyzed to determine the length and diameter of the NPC, the distance between the NPC and the MCI, and to evaluate the morphology of the NPC. The data were analyzed using the independent Student's t-test, the Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests, and Dunn's post-test (p < 0.05). Results: The average diameter and length of the NPC were 2.92 ± 0.91 mm and 12.67 ± 3.32 mm, respectively. The minimum and maximum distance between the MCI and the NPC were 0.78 ± 0.42 mm and 2.56 ± 1.38 mm, respectively. The NPC of male patients was greater in length compared with the female patients (p < 0.05). The majority presented a funnel-like morphology (34.1%), followed by a cylindrical morphology (27.5%). Conclusions: There was variability in the dimensions of the NPC and its relationship with the MCI, which was influenced by gender and age.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the root and canal morphology of the mandibular first and second permanent molars in a Turkish population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: CBCT images of mandibular first (n = 966) and second molar (n = 1165) teeth from 850 Turkish patients were evaluated. The root canal configurations were classified according to the method of Vertucci. The data were analyzed by Pearson's Chi-square test. Results: The majority of mandibular molars were two rooted with three canals; however, three roots were identified in 0.05% of the first molars and 0.01% of the second molars, and 100% of the additional root canals were of type I configuration. Mesial roots had more complex canal systems with more than one canal, whereas most distal roots had a type I configuration. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that CBCT scanning provides supplemental information about the root canal configurations of mandibular molars in a Turkish population. This study may help clinicians in the root canal treatment of mandibular molars.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the root and canal morphology of the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth in a Turkish population by analyzing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Materials and Methods: CBCT images of 417 females and 410 males with a mean age of ranging from 14 to 70 years were examined in this study. A total of 1453 maxillary central incisors, 1504 maxillary lateral incisors, 1523 maxillary canines, 1582 mandibular central incisors, 1603 mandibular lateral incisors, and 1604 mandibular canines were analyzed. The number of root canals and the canal configurations were investigated and then were classified according to Vertucci's classification. The data were analyzed with the Pearson Chi-square test. Results: The Type 1 canal configuration was most prevalent in the maxillary anterior teeth (96.8-99.7%). The Types 2, 3, 4, and 5 canal configurations were observed within the range of 0-1.3%, 0-0.8%, 0-0.7%, and 0-1.8%, respectively. In the mandibular anterior teeth, the Type 1 canal configuration was most prevalent (77-95%). The Types 2, 3, 4, and 5 canal configurations were observed within a range of 0.2-2.7%, 0.2-1.6%, 0.9-5.9%, and 1.8-14.4%, respectively. The prevalence of two canals was higher in males than in females both in the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Type 1 was the most prevalent canal configuration of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth in the Turkish population. Type 5 was the most frequently observed canal configuration of the two canalled teeth. The incidence of root canal numbers and configurations differed with sex.
