Measuring sinus and nerve canal dimensions on CT scans
Part of Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study looks at CT scans to measure the upper jaw's sinus spaces and the path of a nerve canal, which helps dentists plan procedures like numbing injections. It does not involve any treatment or medication - only analyzing existing scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have a high-quality cone-beam CT (CBCT) scan of your upper jaw and sinuses that shows everything clearly.
- You have not had any surgery, trauma, or disease affecting your upper jaw or face.
- You do not have any genetic or birth-related condition affecting your skull or face.
- Your scan is free of blurring or metal interference.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses CT scans to map the shape of the palate (roof of the mouth) and a nearby canal, to help dentists plan treatments like numbing shots and tooth extractions. If you have a healthy palate and clear scans, you may help improve care for others.
This study looks at existing CT scans of the nose and sinuses to understand how a specific variation in the nasal passage relates to sinus health. It may help doctors better identify and treat sinus problems.
This study looks at detailed 3D scans of upper back teeth (molars) to understand the shape of the root canals that dentists treat during root canal therapy. It aims to help dentists better treat these teeth.
This study uses CT scans to look at how a crooked nasal septum (the wall inside your nose) affects the size of your sinus cavities and whether it's linked to sinus infections. If you have a CT scan already, this research could help doctors better understand sinus problems without any extra tests or treatments.
This study looks at previously taken dental CT (CBCT) scans to find markers on the X-ray that predict where a tiny canal in the lower jaw is. It is not a treatment trial; it helps dentists avoid nerve damage during procedures.
This study uses existing CBCT scans to map a small artery (the alveolar antral artery) in the upper jaw. It helps dentists and surgeons plan procedures to avoid bleeding.
