About

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.

Full description

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.

Enrollment: 90 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 10 to 23 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
