Palatal Morphology, Age, and Greater Palatine Canal Anatomy on CBCT

The primary objective of this study is to quantify the relationship between palatal morphology-including vault height, angle, width, and palatal bone thickness-and the dimensions and position of the greater palatine canal (GPC) and foramen (GPF). Secondary objectives include evaluating how age and sex relate to GPC/GPF measurements, as well as describing the prevalence and anatomical variations, including shapes, of accessory (lesser) palatine canals and foramina.
