Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the dental implants made in the maxilla on cone-beam computed tomography images and to evaluate their relationship with the nasopalatine canal by classifying them according to the safety margin. Materials and methods: In our study, CBCT images of 352 implants in 250 (110 male, 140 female) patients aged 22- 91 years were evaluated in multiplanar planes. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine the suitability of the available data for normal distribution. Relationships between categorical variables were calculated with the "Chisquare test" and the relationship between numerical variables was calculated with the "One Way Anova test". Results: The mean age of all cases was found to be 54.03 ± 11.86. No relationship was observed with the nasopalatine duct in 340 (96.6%) of the cases. When analyzed according to gender, no statistically significant difference was found between the nasopalatine canal and typings (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Implants that were not associated with the nasopalatine canal were found to be 96.6%. The number of implants unrelated to the nasopalatine canal was found to be higher
