The nasopalatine canal (NPC) is a crucial anatomical structure located in the anterior maxilla, exhibiting morphological and dimensional variations. These variations may influence dental implant placement and surgical planning. This study aims to evaluate the morphology and dimensions of the NPC using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to analyze its relationship with gender, age, and the presence of anterior teeth.
