Abstract

The article focuses on evaluating anatomical variations of the nasomaxillary complex and related dentoalveolar structures using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in 221 patients. Key findings include prevalence rates of maxillary sinus septa (32.6%), posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) presence (50.9%), nasal septum deviations (23.1%), various concha variations, anterior nasal spine types, nasopalatine canal morphologies, canalis sinuosus locations, and infraorbital ethmoid cells, all consistent with existing literature. The study highlights the clinical importance of these variations for diagnosis, management of pain of unknown origin, and surgical planning in oral and maxillofacial procedures. It also reports a rare case of bifid inferior concha and emphasizes the utility of CBCT for detailed anatomical assessment in multidisciplinary dental and surgical contexts.
