    Anatomic characteristics and dimensions of the nasopalatine canal: A radiographic study using cone-beam computed tomography
    (Via Medica, 2021-01-01) Görürgöz, Cansu; Öztaş, B.; GÖRÜRGÖZ, CANSU; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi/Dentomaksillofasiyal Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0002-3083-1660; AAQ-4576-2020
    Background: Description of the nasopalatine canal (NPC) is important for planning surgical treatment and comprehension of the morphology and pathogenesis of lesions that occur in the anterior maxilla. The goal of this study was to analyse the dimensions and anatomic characteristics of the NPC on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, to determine the incidence of anatomical variation; and to assess the correlations of these variables with age, gender, and dental status.Materials and methods: A total of 320 individual CBCT images were included. Reformatted sagittal, coronal and axial slices were evaluated. Sagittal images were used for measurements of the NPC and to classified shape and direction-course of the NPC. Coronal images were used to analyse the NPC division levels and axial images were used to detect the number of palatal and nasal opening.Results: The mean NPC length was 11.45 +/- 2.50 mm; statistically significant differences were detected between males and females (p < 0.05). Mean nasopalatine angle was 76.26 +/- 8.12 degrees; significant differences were detected in sagittal and coronal classifications. The most common canal was: funnel-shaped (29%), slanted-curved direction-course (53.1%), middle third division level (43.1%), and one incisive foramen with two Stenson's foramina (1-2) (77.2%).Conclusions: The current study ensures new findings on the literature concerning the description of the anatomical structure of the canal. Also, the study highlights a significant variability in the anatomy and morphology of the NPC. Therefore, three-dimensional analysis of this structure is important for facilitating surgical management and preventing possible complications in this area.

    Juvenile pleomorphic adenoma of the cheek: Report of a rare case and literature analysis
    (Elsevier, 2020-12-01) Görürgöz, Cansu; Erdem, Murat Kaan; Erdem, Erdal; Gültekin, Sibel Elif; GÖRÜRGÖZ, CANSU; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi/Dentomaksillofasiyal Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-3083-1660; AAQ-4576-2020
    Purpose: The aim of this paper is to describe a rare case of children with pleomorphic adenoma in buccal minor salivary gland and present a brief review of the previous cases in the literature. Methods: Research was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE/Google Scholar databases. The research was supplemented with a manual search to identify related published articles in dental journals. Results: Articles published from 1986 onwards, in English language with full texts, were selected. Our search revealed that only 6 cases of children with pleomorphic adenoma in cheek (including pleomorphic adenoma arising from accessory parotid gland) were reported in the last 34 years. This paper also reports a case of pleomorphic adenoma on the cheek in a 10-year-old girl. The mass diagnosed with Ultrasonography was removed by wide local excision and no recurrence has been noted with a follow-up period of 14 months. Conclusion: Salivary glands tumors are very rare in the pediatric age group, and rarely in minor salivary glands. Proper examination and assessment with preoperative imaging are necessary for its diagnosis. Pleomorphic adenoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of cheek lesions in young and adult patients. The possibility of late recurrences and malignant transformation should be regarded, thus prolonged follow-up is essential.
