Bone Markings01:26

Bone Markings

Bones have various surface features that help form joints and attach to other soft tissues. Depending on the function, bone markings are categorized into articulating projections, processes for attachment, depressions, and openings.
Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

    Summary

    The canalis sinuosis, an anatomical canal in the maxilla, contains a neurovascular bundle. Identifying this structure with cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) prevents misdiagnosis and surgical errors during dental implant procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Oral Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • The canalis sinuosis is an anatomical variant in the anterior maxilla.
    • It transmits a neurovascular bundle crucial for dental implant procedures.
    • This canal is often overlooked in standard radiologic examinations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the anatomical and clinical significance of the canalis sinuosis.
    • To emphasize the role of cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) in its identification.
    • To prevent misdiagnosis and surgical complications in dental implantology.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of anatomical literature concerning the canalis sinuosis.
    • Discussion of neurovascular bundle contents (anterior superior alveolar artery, infraorbital nerve branch, vein, anterior superior alveolar nerve).

  • Emphasis on the diagnostic utility of CBCT imaging.

    • Main Results:

    • The canalis sinuosis contains a significant neurovascular bundle.
    • Failure to identify this canal can lead to misinterpretation as pathology.
    • CBCT is vital for accurate detection and differentiation from pathological conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding the canalis sinuosis is essential for oral surgeons and dentists.
    • CBCT imaging is recommended for identifying the canalis sinuosis prior to dental implant placement.
    • Accurate diagnosis prevents iatrogenic misadventures and inappropriate surgical interventions.
