abstract

objectives: accurate localization of the inferior alveolar canal (iac) is extremely important in some dental treatments. anatomical variation of the canal means that it can be difficult to locate. the purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of the gonial angle (ga) size and iac position using cone beam computed tomography (cbct). materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 61 dry adult human hemi-mandibles were used. the cbct scans were taken of all samples and ga was measured on all cbct scans. the samples were divided into two groups of low angle (≤125°) and high angle (>125°). the canal dimensions, length and course were evaluated. on the sagittal view, the iac path was classified as type a, b or c. on the axial view, canal course was defined as a1 or a2 according to the mental foramen angle. results: the average ga size was 121.8±7.05° at the right side and 123.8±6.32° at the left side. on the sagittal view, there was a significant correlation between the ga size and the canal course (p=0.04). in the high-angle group, type a was dominant; whereas in the low-angle group, type b was more common. on the axial view of iac course, type a1 was more common (73.43%). conclusion: the results showed that ga size was associated with iac course. in cases with a larger ga, the canal runs in a more straightforward path, and at the same level as the mental foramen.

Relationship of the Gonial Angle and Inferior Alveolar Canal Course Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography

OBJECTIVES Accurate localization of the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) is extremely important in some dental treatments. Anatomical variation of the canal means that it can be difficult to locate. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of the gonial angle (GA) size and IAC position using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Bilocular Stafne Bone Defect above And Below the Inferior Alveolar Canal Assessed by Cone Beam Computed Tomography: A Case Report

Stafne bone defect is a bone depression containing salivary gland or fatty soft tissue on the lingual surface of the mandible. The most common location is within the submandibular gland fossa and often close to the inferior border of the mandible. This defect is asymptomatic and generally discovered only incidentally during radiographic examination of the area. Stafne bone defect appears as a w...

Prevalence of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve’s Anterior Loop and Mandibular Incisive Canal by Use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in an Iranian Population.

Background and aim: Mental nerve injury is one of the challenges of implant surgeries in the anterior mandibular region, which leads to complications such as paresthesia of the lip and chin. The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve's (IAN) anterior loop and mandibular incisive canal by use of  CBCT. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive stud...

Assessment of the inferior mandibular canal’s position by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

Abstract Objectives: It is important to know the exact location and anatomic variety of inferior alveolar nerve canal for different procedures of mandibular surgeries. The aim of the present study was to evaluate inferior mandibular canal’s anatomic position by Cone-beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). Methods: In a cross sectional study, CBCT were taken and assessed from 130 patients (...
