Study and evaluation of the gubernacular canal by means of cone beam computed tomography.

The aims of this review of the literature were to conceptualize the gubernacular canal, by an approach to its function, importance and characteristics of its image in Cone Beam Computed Tomography. The bibliographic survey of scientific articles was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, Bireme, Scielo and Google Scholar. The gubernacular canal, which carries the gubernacular cord within it, is an anatomic structure that starts in the dental follicle and goes through to the alveolar bone crest behind the deciduous tooth.
