Anatomy and imaging of the alveolar antral artery canal using CBCT

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study analyzes anonymized CBCT scans from a Polish dental imaging facility to characterize the alveolar antral artery canal, including its course and variations. It compares different CBCT-based methods for identifying and mapping the canal and assesses diagnostic performance using statistical analyses. The goal is to improve preoperative imaging assessment and surgical planning in the maxilla. Only scans with adequate image quality and complete visualization are included; scans with artefacts or prior surgeries in the region are excluded.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* 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.

Exclusion Criteria:

* 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.
