Morphological parameters of the nasopalatine canal measured on reference CBCT section images. A, B. Measurements in a reference sagittal plane: APNO (in mm) - anteroposterior diameter of the nasal opening, APOO (in mm) - anteroposterior diameter of the oral opening, midAP (in mm) - mid-level anteroposterior diameter of the canal, L (in mm) – length of the canal, A (in degrees) – the angle between the canal axis and the nasal floor. C. AWE (in mm) – anterior wall expansion measured on the same sagittal image. D. Measurements in a reference coronal plane: MLNO (in mm) – mediolateral diameter of the nasal opening, minML (in mm) – minimum mediolateral diameter. E. Measurements in a reference axial plane: MLOO (in mm) – mediolateral diameter of the oral opening
