 Objective: To evaluate the distance from the root to the bone tables and nasal floor of maxillary anterior teeth with indication for apical microsurgery. Material and methods: The sample consisted of 44 cone beam computed tomographic images prior to the apical microsurgery procedure; in addition, 31 images were selected for comparison with contralateral teeth without indication for apical microsurgery. The distance from the root to the bone tables and nasal floor was measured. Results: The distance from the root surface to the vestibular and palatal bone tables 3 mm from the apex was 0.98 ± 0.67 mm and 4.26 ± 2.97 mm for the central incisor; 0.77 ± 0.50 mm and 2.12 ± 1.22 mm for the lateral incisor; and 0.52 ± 0.63 mm and 5.31 ± 1.38 mm for the canine, respectively. The shortest distance from the apex to the nasal floor was 9.56 ± 2.88 mm for the central incisor, 10.33 ± 2.97 mm for the lateral incisor, and 5.73 ± 2.57 mm for the canine. A statistically significant greater distance from the apex to the nasal floor was found only for the lateral incisor with indication for apical microsurgery compared to the lateral incisor without indication for apical microsurgery. Conclusions: The distance from the root to the vestibular bone table is less than from the root to the palatal bone table. The apex closest to the nasal floor was that of the canine. Maxillary anterior teeth with and without indication for apical microsurgery showed similar distances from the root to the bone tables and nasal floor.
