Significance of Morphometric and Anatomic Variations of Nasopalatine Canal on Cone-Beam Computed Tomography in Anterior Functional Zone - A Retrospective Study.

Introduction: Oral rehabilitation in maxillary anterior region has increased concerns in the dental fraternity to have detailed morphological examination in treatment planning. The nasopalatine canal (NPC) along with its contents plays an important role in determining the prognosis of implants and their associated surgeries. The present study was performed to evaluate morphometric anatomic variations of the NPC using focused small field of view on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
