Official title

Assessment of Palatal Morphology and Age in Relation to Greater Palatine Canal/Foramen Anatomy on CBCT: A Retrospective Study in an Egyptian Population

Overview

The primary objective of this study is to quantify the relationship between palatal morphology-including vault height, angle, width, and palatal bone thickness-and the dimensions and position of the greater palatine canal (GPC) and foramen (GPF). Secondary objectives include evaluating how age and sex relate to GPC/GPF measurements, as well as describing the prevalence and anatomical variations, including shapes, of accessory (lesser) palatine canals and foramina.

Primary outcome measures

  • the correlation between palatal morphology and the dimensions and position of the greater palatine canal (GPC) and foramen (GPF). [Time frame: January 2026]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Adults ≥18 years
  • CBCT scans showing complete hard palate
  • Presence of first maxillary molars bilaterally

Exclusion criteria

  • Palatal surgery or trauma history
  • Maxillofacial anomalies
  • Palatal pathology
  • Poor CBCT quality

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
