Evaluation of Impacted or Included Maxillary Canines on Dentofacial Structures, and Airway and Nasal Fossa Dimensions

JAVIER MONTERO90 enrolled

Overview

The study retrospectively analyzed previously acquired CBCT images to evaluate specific anatomical features, such as \[e.g., "maxillary sinus and nasal fossa volumes"\]. No active patient participation or new clinical procedures is required; this information is used to measure sinus and fossa dimensions.

The study analysed the CBCTs of patients, each assigned to one of three groups: control, unilateral canine impaction, or bilateral canine impaction. Each group was assigned by gender. Three values were analysed: maxillary sinuses left (MSL) and right (MSR), and sinuses with fossa MSNF measures in mm3.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Different Volumes of Maxillary Sinuses and Nasal Airway Complex

Volume (in mm³) of the right maxillary sinus, left maxillary sinus, and combined nasal and maxillary sinus airway complex, measured using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and Dolphin Imaging software. Measurements are performed in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes using standardized sensitivity and anatomical reference points.

Time frame: November 2024 to February 2025
