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.

Background: Careful anatomical investigation of canalis sinuosus (CS) is essential to prevent damage to blood vessels and nerves in this area during surgical procedures, such as placing dental implants in the anterior maxillary region. This study investigated the relationship and distance between the CS and its adjacent structures.
Methods: A total of 400 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of Iranian adults aged 20-86 years were included in this retrospective study.

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.

This study presents retrospective 8-year clinical performance data from a patient cohort treated with immediately loaded maxillary full prostheses supported by zygomatic implants combined with implants placed in the nasopalatine canal, as a treatment for severely resorbed edentulous ridges. A retrospective analysis was conducted on data of maxillary edentulous patients with severe bone atrophy. All of them received zygomatic implants in combination with an implant placed in the nasopalatine foramen and an immediately loaded fixed temporary prosthesis in the first 24 hours.

The nasopalatine canal (NPC), an interosseous conduit in the anterior maxilla, plays a crucial role in various dental procedures, such as implant placement, orthodontics, and surgical interventions. Accurate anatomical characterization of the NPC is essential to avoid complications, as its morphometric variations can impact the nasopalatine nerve and vascular structures within the canal. Traditional radiography techniques are limited in displaying the canal's detailed anatomy due to issues like magnification and distortion.
