Micro-XCT analysis of anatomical features and dimensions of the incisive canal: implications for dental implant treatment in the anterior maxilla
The complex anatomical differences of the MIC in a South African population were clarified. Clinicians should be aware of tooth sockets in near proximity to the MIC and perform accurate preoperative assessment using sophisticated 3-D imaging and preferable guided implant placement in the anterior maxilla.
