Objective: To conduct a morphometric evaluation of the incisive canal, adjacent structures, and their anatomic variations in Brazilian individuals.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using a sample of 157 multislice computed tomography images of adult Brazilian individuals of both sexes (20-96 years). The exam was performed with the RadiAnt DICOM Viewer 4.0.1 (64-bit) software that uses the DICOM PACS standard for visualization of medical and dental images.
Results: The values for length and height of the canal, thickness of the palatine bone plate, and latero-lateral diameter of the incisive foramen were higher in men than in women ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrated morphometric differences for the following parameters: latero-lateral diameter; width of canals at all levels measured; palatine bone plate height; canal length and palatine bone plate thickness in relation to the male and female sexes in the Brazilian population.

Background: It is generally accepted that the greater palatine nerve and artery supply the palatal mucosa, gingiva, and glands, but not the bone or tooth adjacent to those tissues. When the bony palate is observed closely, multiple small foramina are seen on the palatal surface of the alveolar process. The authors hypothesized that the greater palatine nerve and artery might supply the maxillary teeth via the foramina on the palatal surface of the alveolar process and the superior alveolar nerve and artery.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate cracked teeth and vertical root fracture observable on micro-CT images of extracted roots of mandibular incisors, after fiber post removal.
Materials And Methods: Thirty mandibular incisors were selected with any degree of slight incisal wear inspected with the aid of a stereomicroscope under 12x magnification, in order to have a group of young adult specimens according to the criteria of Hugoson et al. A sample of twelve mandibular incisors were selected, aged between 20 and 30 years old, with similar dentine volume and thickness.

Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are among the most common nonodontogenic cysts, typically located in the midline of anterior maxillary hard palate. They usually arise from the embryonic epithelial vestiges of the nasopalatine duct. NPDCs predominantly affect adult males, generally during their fourth decade of life.

Background: Nose picking is a common habit that rarely leads to mutilating self-injury. It is important to distinguish between rhinotillexomania (compulsive nose picking) as a disease and nose picking that results in or contributes to nasal septal perforation (NSP). The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of rhinotillexomania and NSP repair on sinonasal symptoms and quality of life (QoL).

Objectives: This study evaluated the prevalence, diameter and location of the mandibular incisive canal (MIC) and the transition pattern and anterior loop length (ALL) of the mental canal and compared these values between and mandibles.
Methods: A total of 187 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of mandibles, namely, 100 images of dentate mandibles and 87 images of edentulous mandibles, were obtained. CBCT data related to the incisive canal and mental canal were analyzed by one examiner.
