Study of jaw bone canal seen on dental CT scans
This study looks at a small canal in the lower jaw that can be seen on dental CT scans. It aims to find patterns in x-ray images that might help dentists plan treatments and avoid complications. If you have had a dental CT scan, your images might be used.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have had a dental CT scan (CBCT) done before for diagnosis.
- The scan shows a small canal on one side of your lower jaw, but not on the other.
- The scan is clear enough to see the details of the jawbone and the canal.
- You have not had surgery, injury, or implants in that part of your jaw.
- You have no diseases or conditions that affect skull or jaw growth, and no tumors or cysts in that area.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a harmless variation in the shape of a small bone inside your nose (the inferior turbinate) by reviewing CT scans already taken for other reasons. It aims to understand how common this variation is and whether it relates to other sinus or nasal findings.
This study looks at old dental CT scans to measure the sinuses and a canal in the roof of the mouth. It may help future procedures in that area.
This study tests whether a special dental MRI can give useful pictures to diagnose jaw joint problems, tooth-related tissue changes, and gum/inflammation issues, and to help plan some dental implant treatments. If you need imaging for these reasons, the trial may help doctors choose the best next treatment by using clearer, dedicated scans.
This trial uses 3D X-ray scans (CBCT) to train an AI model to spot extra root canals in lower premolars, which can help dentists avoid missing them during root canal treatment.
This study uses a 3D dental x-ray (CBCT) to look at how wisdom teeth that are stuck (impacted) relate to the growth pattern of your jaw. It might help doctors understand why some wisdom teeth get stuck.
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.
