“…• Canalis incisivus has two openings, the superior innominate opening located in the floor of cavitas nasi, and the inferior opening termed foramen incisivum (of Stensen/ Steno), which opens into the fossa incisiva ossis incisivi (fossa incisiva premaxillae) and cavitas oris (or in a bony skull onto basis cranii externa). As it is a bony canal of the skull base, both openings of the canal can be termed as apertura interna canalis incisivi (the superior opening) and apertura externa canalis incisivi (the inferior opening), replacing the term "foramen incisivum" , following the example of canalis caroticus or canaliculus cochleae [15]. • Canalis mandibulae is a bony canal within the mandible containing the nervus alveolaris inferior et vasa alveolaria inferiora.…”

Anatomical nomenclature is the main tool of communication in morphology, anatomy and other medical disciplines as well as in medical education, and thus needs to be exact, flawless, elaborate and correct. The Terminologia Anatomica (TA) is a thorough and extensive list of anatomical terms and their definitions, and the current standard for human anatomical terminology. Although several revisions to the TA have been made in the last 20 years, some important anatomical structures are still not included. This article is aimed at correcting and extending the anatomical nomenclature described in the TA. We gathered and presented a list of anatomical terms, with their definitions and explanations, to provoke a discussion about correcting and extending the TA. Our list comprises of 96 terms related to the locomotor system of the human body, i.e., the bones, joints, muscles and related structures.

“…Superiorly, it continues usually on each side of the nasal septum ending in a nasal foramen. 1,2 It mainly contains the nasopalatine nerve and terminal branches of the nasopalatine artery surrounded by connective tissue and seromucous glands. 3,4 The application of conventional two-dimensional (2D) imaging techniques, such as intra-oral radiography, to assess the maxillary anterior periapical region provides limited information and can lead to inaccurate interpretation of a periapical radiolucency (PRL) related to the central incisors.…”

Background/Aim There is lack of evidence regarding the radiological characteristics of a periapical radiolucency fusion with the nasopalatine canal following dento-alveolar trauma. The aim of this study was to assess the nasopalatine canal (NPC) enlargement resulting from fusion with a periapical radiolucency and its relationship with the surrounding anatomical structures. Material and methods A total of 100 patients were retrospectively recruited and divided into two groups: case group and control group. The case group consisted of 50 cone-beam computed tomography scans of the maxilla of patients (32 males, 18 females; age range: 11-83 years) with a known history of dento-alveolar trauma in the maxillary anterior region and presence of an undiagnosed and/or asymptomatic nasopalatine canal-periapical radiolucency fusion. An age-and gendermatched control group of 50 patients (32 males, 18 females; age range: 11-82 years) without trauma history to the upper anterior teeth, demonstrating normal maxillary scans was recruited. A subjective scoring criterion was established for assessing the characteristics of the fused lesion and its relationship with the buccal/palatal alveolar cortex, nasal cavity cortex, nasopalatine canal cortical border and maxillary sinus floor. Results The fused nasopalatine canal-periapical radiolucency was mainly lobular in appearance (88%) with non-corticated well-defined margins (80%). Male patients showed larger (68%) dimensions compared to female patients (32%). The nasopalatine canal cortical bone was the most commonly perforated structure in relation to fusion (72%), whereas, maxillary sinus cortical bone was the least effected (2%). A statistically significant difference was observed between the nasopalatine canal dimensions in the control and test groups, with fused lesions having larger mesio-lateral, cranio-caudal and bucco-palatal dimensions (p<0.001). Conclusions Periapical radiolucencies should be treated as soon as possible before they fuse with NPC. In case of fusion, surgical enucleation should be considered as the treatment of choice.
