Abstract
High precise evaluation of the nasopalatine canal morphology is essential to perform detailed diagnosis and treatment plans in implantology and the orthodontic field. We aimed to study morphometric analysis measurements of the nasopalatine canal. In this cross-sectional study, maxillary CBCT images from 125 patients were evaluated in the Maxillofacial Radiology department between 2014-2021. Sagittal views were assessed to determine nasopalatine canal morphology and dimensions. The difference in canal diameter and length between genders was evaluated using an One Way ANOVA test. There was no significant sex difference among all 125 cases in nasopalatine canal diameter, length, anterior bone plate width. The average length of the nasopalatine canal was 16.49±2.8 mm in male, 16.20±2.9 mm in female, incisive foramen diameter in the sagittal plane was 4.04±0.9 mm in male, 4.02±0.9 mm in female, nasopalatine foramen diameter was 4.63±1.4 mm in male, 4.75±1.2 mm in female. The width of the bone anterior to the canal was 5.89±1.4 mm in males, 5.69±1 mm in females. 16-48 aged Mongolian average length of the nasopalatine canal was 16.3 mm, and average incisive foramen width was 4.08 mm, the average width of the bone anterior to the canal was 5.76 mm. Anterior retraction treatment for upper incisor root can be done safely without root resorption around 5.5 mm in the premaxillary alveolar bone.
