Hypothesis
What is the relationship and distance between the canalis sinuosus and its adjacent structures?
Conclusion
The canalis sinuosus location was significantly more palato-lateral in males, with no significant difference in prevalence between sexes.
Supporting Evidence
- CS was found in 10.5% of all images.
- The mean diameter of the canal was 1.06±0.29 mm.
- The most common location of CS was mid-position relative to the upper lateral incisors.
- Only the distance from the CS to the buccal cortical plate and perpendicular to the nasopalatine canal exhibited a significant difference between the two sexes.
Takeaway
This study looked at a part of the mouth called the canalis sinuosus to see how it relates to nearby teeth and structures, finding that it is often positioned differently in men and women.
Methodology
