Variations in nasopalatine canal morphology across populations: a cone-beam computed tomography systematic review and proposed nomenclature system
This review highlights the significant variability in the anatomical morphology of the NPC across different populations, a factor presenting challenges in establishing a standardised classification system. The current study introduces a new, adaptable naming system to be used in education, research, and by clinicians during the description of the NPC anatomy.
