CBCT-Based Morphologic Evaluation of Nasopalatine Canal Variations in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate Patients
Anatomic variability of the nasopalatine canal in CLP patients underscores the importance of individualized radiographic assessment. Incorporating CBCT into preoperative planning can enhance procedural safety and improve outcomes in maxillofacial interventions such as Le Fort I osteotomy, implant placement, and orthodontic procedures involving anterior tooth movement.
