Introduction: Incisive foramen in the maxilla is the oral terminus of the nasopalatine canal. This region is important in implantology, Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the  neurovascular anatomical variations in the maxillary anterior region, observed on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Materials &Methods: In this cross-sectional study, maxillary CBCT ima...

OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to assess appearance, visibility, location and course of anatomical landmarks in mandibular interforaminal region using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). STUDY DESIGN A total of 96 CBCT examinations was re-evaluated to exploit anatomical landmarks. The examinations used the Promax 3D CBCT unit. A sole examiner carried out all the measurements. Visibilit...

Objective: 3-dimensional radiographic evaluation of the intraforaminal area are crucial to prevent complications during surgical procedures. This study aimed retrospectively determine incidence different shapes foramen, and presence anterior loop with aid cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
 Materials Methods: retrospective was performed on 176 patients whose CBCT images indicated were u...

Introduction Coracobrachialis is a weak flexor muscle of the arm. It originates from the tip of the coracoid process of scapula together with the short head of biceps brachii. Its tendon is inserted to the middle of the medial border of humerus where the nutrient foramen is located. The musculocutaneous nerve usually pierces the muscle and supplies it [1, 2]. This muscle is functionally not so ...

To better assess the efficacy of mechanical preparation of root canals, transparent specimens of 250 extracted maxillary canines were investigated for canal configuration, thickness and curvature of the root canal, condition of any accessory canals, and location of the apical foramen. Fewer than 40% of the specimens showed accessory canals that were mechanically impossible to clean. The majorit...

An understanding of the structural relationships between the soft tissue anatomy of the face and the hard tissue anatomy of the skull is significant for craniofacial identification methods employed in forensic anthropology and forensic dentistry. Typically, mouth characteristics have been predicted from the teeth but this proves problematic in edentulous skulls. Some clue may, however, be provi...

Many endodontists avoid surgical procedures in proximity to the mental foramen. Although a healthy respect for regional anatomy is important, this should not be at the expense of failing to offer the most appropriate endodontic care. When correct preoperative diagnostic and surgical techniques are used, serious negative sequelae are rarely encountered. Three simple steps used during presurgical...

Fractures behind the mental foramen can be sufficiently stabilized by only one plate. In this area there are two anatomical danger points. The apex of the canine is normally long and may lie close to the osteosynthesis line. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure that the drill holes are placed beside the apex and do not damage them. If this is not possible with a simple four-hole plate, a fou...
