Abstract
CHACON DE VELASCO, Sheyla Fiorella; SOTELO CHAVEZ, Aldo Grimaldo and RUIZ GARCIA DE CHACON, Vilma Elizabeth. Comparison of the anatomic characteristics of the nasopalatine duct in toothed and edentulous patients by cone beam computed tomography. Lima 2018-2020. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2023, vol.33, n.1, pp.42-49. Epub Mar 31, 2023. ISSN 1019-4355. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/reh.v33i1.4433.
Objective
: To compare the anatomical characteristics of the NPC in dentate and edentulous patients using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) of the Bucomaxillofacial Radiology Service performed at the Centro Dental Docente of the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia.
Material and methods
: All TCHC acquired between the years 2018 and 2020, which meet certain criteria, were evaluated; where the anatomicals characteristics of the CNP were compared. The data were recorded in a database, then represented in tables.
Results
: 216 tomographic volumes were evaluated, divided into two groups: dentate and edentulous. The single cylindrical shape and the single channel shape were the most found in both groups. The length and distance were greater in dentate patients, no association was found in relation to the diameter, the inclination was greater in edentulous patients, finding an association in relation to the inclination between the compared groups.
Conclusions
: Multiple anatomical differences of the CNP were found between the dentate and edentulous patients evaluated with TCHC in relation to sex and age.
