Abstract

Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of temporal crest canal in a group of Turkish population according to gender using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: CIBT images of 515 individuals were retrospectively analysed. Twenty-seven of these images were excluded because they did not meet the study criteria. All images were analysed in multiplanar planes. The presence of temporal crest canal was recorded according to age and gender. Data were analysed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Pearson Chi-Square test was used to evaluate the relationship between categorical variables. Results: 488 KIBT images were analysed and 2.6% of the total temporal crest canal was detected. Right temporal crest canal rate was 1.2% and left temporal crest canal rate was 1.4%. The rate of temporal crest canal was 1.4% in males and 1.2% in females. There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of presence of right and left temporal crest canal in males and females (p > 0.05). Conclusion: CIBT is an important radiological method for the detection of temporal crest canal. The rate of presence of temporal crest canal did not show a significant difference between genders.
