This study aimed to evaluate principal morphological and morphometric characteristics of accessory canals (ACs) the anterior maxilla, as well analyze relationship with nasopalatine canal (NPC) type. The results our showed that ACs were observed in almost 50% participants. They mostly presented bilaterally a curved shape, palatal foramen position. significantly influenced by NPC type had strongest impact on distance between AC, AC facial aspect buccal bone wall, inferior parts alveolar ridge. On other hand, central incisors was not shape lower region maxilla. However, participants banana-type expressed reduction from incisor at upper part comparison subjects cylindrical-type NPC. basis this study, simultaneous estimation seems reasonable, approach may be useful prevention complications which could occur during implant surgery interventions.
