“…In contrast to the literature, in our study, there was a significant difference between the genders in AC of the CS occurrence, with males showing a higher prevalence than females. This result is in agreement with the research of Tomrukçu et al 24 and Aoki et al 10 .…”

“…The Sidexis XG software program (Sirona, Bemshein, Germany) was used to reconstruct and evaluate the projections and these were analyzed with sagittal, coronal and axial sections (Figure 1). in the anterior maxillary region, periodontal surgery, endodontic surgery, orthognathic surgery, and cyst treatment are some of the surgical procedures performed in the anterior maxillary region 10 . However, manipulation of tissues in the anterior region can cause irreversible damage to the patient.…”

SummaryBackground/Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of a canalis sinuosus (CS) in the anterior maxilla.Material and Methods: CBCT images of 673 patients (322 females and 351 males) were examined retrospectively with regard to age, gender, location of CS and relation to impacted canines. The age of the patients ranged from 14 to 82 years; the mean age of the female patients was 43.54 years and that of the males was 45.75 years. IBM SPSS 22 for Windows was used for statistical analysis of the results. Statistical comparisons between two categorical variables were conducted using chi-square tests. Significance was set at (p< 0.05).Results: It was observed that 8.17% of the patients in this study exhibited accessory canals (AC) of CS (n= 55). There was no significant difference in CS prevalence between ages, age groups, and location in our study (p> 0.5). There was significant difference in CS prevalence between the genders (p< 0.5). Conclusions: It is important to take into consideration the presence of AC of the CS during surgical procedures in the anterior maxilla. It was also found that CBCT is more helpful than other techniques in detecting accessory canals in the region of interest.

“…The CS is a bony canal that contains the anterior superior alveolar nerve and vessels, supplying innervation and nutrition to the maxillary anterior teeth and soft tissues. 3,6,17 After reaching the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, CS may emit accessory canals 16 or terminate its trajectory in the region of the superior central incisive. Although some studies mentioned that the occurrence of the CS is rare, the percentage of individuals that presented with CS in studies with a representative number of patients ranged from 52.1% to 88%.…”

“…4,15 The CS is detected in 52.1% to 88% of all patients. 9,13,[16][17][18] Consequently, some studies have advocated that the CS might be considered to be an anatomic structure rather than an anatomical variation. 13,17 Nevertheless, even 81 years after it was first described, 3 the CS is still not well known by dental professionals.…”

Canalis sinuosus (CS) is a neurovascular canal that corresponds to a small branch of the infraorbital canal. It contains the anterior superior alveolar nerve and vessels, supplying the anterior maxilla. Despite having been described 81 years ago, CS is not recognized by many dental practitioners and may be the cause of unintended injuries during dental procedures. The aims of this study are to report a case of a patient who suffered pain due to exposure of the CS, to provide a comprehensive review of other CS cases that were challenging to diagnose, and to propose guidelines for preoperative examination of patients undergoing surgical procedures in the anterior maxilla. The review of the literature revealed six cases, in addition to the one presented here, of unintended or potential damage to CS. Five out of seven cases were related to dental implant placement and resulted in postoperative pain and/or paresthesia. The dental implant was removed in 4 out of the 5 cases. This study reinforces the importance of awareness of CS by dental practitioners and provides a protocol for the preoperative examination of the patient to prevent avoidable injuries to CS.
