Palate shape linked to nerve canal position in new study
NCT ID NCT07363213
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will look at 50 adult CBCT scans to see if the shape of the roof of the mouth (palate) is related to the size and position of a nerve canal (greater palatine canal). Researchers also want to know if age or sex affects these measurements. The goal is to help dentists and surgeons avoid nerve damage during procedures.
