The canalis sinuosus is a neurovascular canal, a branch of nerve of infraorbital canal, through which the anterior superior alveolar nerve passes and then leans medially in course between the nasal cavity and the maxillary sinus, reaching the premaxilla in the canine and incisor region. The purpose of this article is to report a case with the presence of canalis sinuosus, in order to alert and guide professionals and discuss the morphology of this anatomical variation avoiding trans- and postsurgical disorders in dental implants. A 51-year-old female was attended to in a radiology clinic, reporting paresthesia in the right upper lip region and painful symptomatology after the installation of an implant in the corresponding region. The case revealed the presence of canalis sinuosus in imaging exams. The knowledge of this anatomical variation is essential for professionals, because attention to this region prevents irreversible damage. Therefore, the use of imaging examinations is recommended during the planning stages and treatment and after surgery in patients undergoing surgery in this area.

Objective: To evaluate canalis sinuosus (CS) and accessory canalis sinuosus (AC) morphology and their relationship with the impacted canine on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
Methods: The diameter and location of the CS, its distance from the nasal cavity (NC-CS), its distance from the buccal cortical plate (BC-CS), and its distance from the alveolar ridge crest (AR-CS) were evaluated on 1000 CBCT scans. The prevalence and termination of AC and the presence of impacted canines were also evaluated.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the importance of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in identifying anatomical structures before dental implant procedures.
- CBCT images of 500 adult patients, evaluating variations in structures like the nasopalatine canal and antral alveolar artery, showed specific patterns in both genders.
- The conclusion emphasizes that using CBCT can significantly reduce complications during dental implants by helping dentists understand anatomical relationships before treatments.

Background: While the nasal fossa and nasopalatine canal are recognized limitations for immediate implants in esthetic areas, the canalis sinuosus (CS) and its branches have been largely overlooked. Neglecting this anatomy can lead to sensory issues, pain, and implant failure underscores the necessity of meticulous pre-surgical assessment and planning to mitigate risks and ensure implant success. This case highlights the need for comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation and precise planning to minimize these complications and ensure successful implant outcomes in this scenario.

The canalis sinuosus, a canal containing the anterior superior alveolar nerve bundle, originates from the infraorbital canal and extends along the maxillary sinus and nasal cavity edges to the anterior maxilla. It was once regarded as an anatomical variation. However, with the widespread application of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), the detection rate of canalis sinuosus in the population has increased.

The canalis sinuosus is an anatomical variation whereby the infraorbital canal sometimes generates a small, lateral branch (canal) close to its midpoint, to allow the passage of the anterior superior alveolar neurovascular bundle in the anterior maxilla. This article focuses on an incidental finding of this variant, in a 74-year-old Trinidadian female of Afro-Caribbean descent with an endodontic presenting complaint. The canalis sinuosus shadow on conventional radiography resulted in uncertainty as to the offending tooth until a 3-dimensional scan was undertaken in this region.
