Children scheduled for elective oral, dental, or maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia, with clinically planned nasotracheal intubation for airway management; 3. Children who have already undergone cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examination for clinical indications during routine clinical care, and whose CBCT images are available for retrieval and evaluation by the research team; 4. Written informed consent obtained from the legal guardian. For children with appropriate comprehension ability, age-appropriate explanation will be provided, and assent or willingness to cooperate will be obtained according to the requirements of the ethics committee.
