Abstract

Objective: To reveal the morphological and anatomical structure of the nasopalatine canal (NPC) and analyze its measurements via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: A total of 246 CBCT images were included in the study.) NPC diameter, length, angle, distance from the IF to buccal bone (M1), distance from the NF to buccal bone (M2), and the distance from the middle of the NPC to buccal bone (M3) were measured. Statistical significance was assumed at p < 0.05. Results: There was a significant difference between gender and NPC length, M1 and M3 (p = 0.008, p = 0.019 and p < 0.001, respectively), and between the presence of teeth in the anterior maxilla and M1 (p < 0.001). There was a significant difference between the shape of NPC in the coronal plane and NPC angle (p = 0.012) and between the shape of NPC in the sagittal plane and NF diameter, IF diameter, M1 and the M3 (p < 0.001, p = 0.006, p = 0.031 and p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusion: NPC variations, gender, and the presence of teeth in the anterior maxilla could affect NPC measurements. Physicians planning surgery in the anterior maxilla should pay attention to this situation.

Abstract

Objective: Anamnesis, extraoral intraoral examination, radiographic examination, and other special examination methods are used to diagnose diseases in the oral and maxillofacial regions. The aim of this study was to establish the demographic, systemic, and radiographic characteristics of the patients by analyzing the records of patients who were treated at the Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Clinic of the University Faculty of Dentistry. Methods: The anamnesis and diagnostic records of patients who were treated at the OMR clinic between 01.01.2013 and 31.12.2019 and the radiographic records of the patients referred to the X-ray department were retrospectively analyzed. The number of patients was analyzed according to demographic, systemic, and radiographic classifications, and tables were created according to years and total numbers. Results: The number of females who applied between 2013-2019 was statistically significantly higher than that of males. When the age distribution of all patients who applied to the OMR clinic was analyzed, it was observed that the patients who applied were 15 years of age and older, and 29.3% of these patients were in the 30-44 age group, with the highest proportion. When radiographic data were analyzed, it was observed that the most common radiograph obtained was a panoramic radiograph (90%). Conclusion: Anamnesis records revealed the systemic disease characteristics of the study area, which is helpful for diagnosis and treatment planning. The most requested radiographic types and clinics that requested the most radiographs were determined. This will help improve the functioning within and between departments. By determining the common diagnoses in panoramic radiographs, the issues to be considered in patients of certain age and sex groups have been clarified.
