摘要：The aim of the present study is to examine the Nasopalatine (NPC) morphology on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of the individuals in sagittal and axial plane. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on NPC using cone beam computed tomography of 60 subjects. NPC was measured and its shape and direction-course were classified using sagittal imaging and the number of openings was determined using axial images. Result: The most prevalent canal shape was found to be funnel shape (28.3%).There was also a significant correlation between male and female in shape was found cone shaped (36.7%) and funnel shape (36.7%) respectively.The most common type was slanted-curved in 22 (36.7%) cases. In axial plane 93% of the individuals had single NPC, while 7% had double NPCs and only 1 case had triple NPCs. Conclusion: The latest study adds to the literature's description of the canal's anatomical structure. The study also reveals that the anatomy and morphology of the NPC vary significantly. As a result, three-dimensional study of this structure is critical for easing surgical care and avoiding potential problems.
