Introduction: The sinuosus canal and its branching accessory canals have crucial importance across different races for minimizing neurovascular problems in dental implantation.
Methods: This study was performed as a retrospective analysis, employing Cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) images of 174 patients who attended a private oral and maxillofacial radiology center in Arak from 2018 to 2020. The CBCT images were examined with Romexis software. Quantitative variables were reported as mean ± standard deviation, whereas qualitative variables were presented as frequency percentages. The data were analyzed using the independent T-test. The correlation between quantitative data was examined using Pearsons correlation coefficient and logistic regression analysis. One-way ANOVA was performed to analyze variables including age groups and the location of accessory canals.
Results: 65.5% of the participants had a canalis sinuosus, demonstrating a considerable prevalence of canalis sinuosus in the studied population. Age and gender did not significantly correlate with the prevalence of accessory and sinuosus canals (P > 0.05). However, a significant difference was observed in the mean diameter of the canalis sinuosus between males and females (P = 0.01). The most common location for the termination of accessory canals on the left side in females was posterior to the lateral incisor (48.3%), whereas in males, it was posterior to the central incisor (45.8%). On the right side, the most common place in females (45.5%) and males (36.4%) was also posterior to the central incisor.
Conclusions: The prevalence of sinuosus and accessory canals in different populations and races is more closely related to sample size and race and requires investigation across different races to reduce neurovascular complications.
