Impacted Canines, Maxillary Sinus
Conditions
Brief summary
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.
Detailed 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.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Different Volumes of Maxillary Sinuses and Nasal Airway Complex | November 2024 to February 2025 | Volume (in mm³) of the right maxillary sinus, left maxillary sinus, and combined nasal and maxillary sinus airway complex, measured using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and Dolphin Imaging software. Measurements are performed in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes using standardized sensitivity and anatomical reference points. |
