Palatal Morphology, Age, and Greater Palatine Canal Anatomy on CBCT

Assessment of Palatal Morphology and Age in Relation to Greater Palatine Canal/Foramen Anatomy on CBCT: A Retrospective Study in an Egyptian Population

• Status: Not Yet Recruiting
• Phase: —
• Study type: Observational
• Enrollment: 50 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Cairo University · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 65 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to quantify the relationship between palatal morphology-including vault height, angle, width, and palatal bone thickness-and the dimensions and position of the greater palatine canal (GPC) and foramen (GPF). Secondary objectives include evaluating how age and sex relate to GPC/GPF measurements, as well as describing the prevalence and anatomical variations, including shapes, of accessory (lesser) palatine canals and foramina.
