Abstract

The main aim of this project is the evaluation of the visibility of Superior Alveolar Canals (SAC), anterior, middle and posterior, and Infraorbital Canal (IC), through the i-Dixel Viewer software, available on the Oral Imaging Center, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The study group consists of 20 tests maxilla of adult patients conducted by CBCT (i-CAT machine), taken at the Department of Stomatology, School of Dentistry of Bauru. After training the researcher with the 3D Accuitomo unit 170, the analysis will be performed by the reconstruction coronal, sagittal and parasagittal, analyzing the SAC and the IC, bilaterally from the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus to the midline of the maxilla.
