About this trial
This research project aims to improve understanding of the alveolar antral artery canal, an anatomical structure located in the maxilla, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The project includes several studies examining the canal's anatomy and anatomical variations, as well as evaluating different CBCT-based methods for identifying and mapping the canal. The findings will help determine the accuracy and usefulness of these imaging approaches and may improve preoperative assessment and surgical planning for procedures involving the maxilla.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
CBCT scans acquired following a written referral from a physician or dentist.
Complete visualization of the alveolar antral artery canal and the maxillary sinus region.
Sufficient image quality to allow reliable anatomical assessment.
Disqualifiers
CBCT scans with significant imaging artefacts affecting visualization of the alveolar antral artery canal.
Previous surgical procedures or pathological lesions in the region of interest that preclude reliable anatomical assessment.
Incomplete visualization of the region of interest.
