Purpose The present in vivo study aimed to estimate the prevalence and variation anterior loop of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) relation mental foramen assess safe zone part mandible for implant placement with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) North Indian population. Materials Methodology To conduct this study, 70 patients were selected radiographically evaluated. All CBCT sca...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate which post-processing imaging protocol would be better to analyze the additional mental foramen (AMF) in preoperative planning with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) exams, and to test reproducibility of measurements, using open source software (OsiriX). The software was used to detect the cases of AMF from among 58 exams for dental implant planning ...

This study is aimed at determining anatomical landmarks that can be used to gain access to the inferior alveolar neurovascular (IAN) bundle. Scanned CBCT (i-CAT machine) data of sixty patients and reconstructions performed using the SimPlant dental implant software were reviewed. Outcome variables were the linear distances of the mandibular canal to the inferior border and the buccal cortex of ...

BACKGROUND The aim of this work is to clarify the aspects which are at present most controversial about the development of the anterior segments of Meckel's cartilage, such as the role of and determination of the area that is incorporated in the development of the human mandible. METHODS Light microscope studies were done on 25 embryos and human fetuses from the collection of the Institute of...

Twenty-four-year-old woman without familiar detected signs of Bourneville's disease or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) was diagnosed with this disease by casual discovery on cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of an intraventricular tumor, after symptoms consist in headache, equilibrium disturbances, and progressive loss of vision. MRI shows an intracranial mass, 33÷24÷30 mm in size, loc...

The objective of this study was to measure and assess a number of radiomorphometric indices of the mandibular removable denture wearers taking into account age and gender. In a total of 136 dental panoramic radiographs (DPR) the following parameters were evaluated: MI = thickness of the mandibular cortex below the mental foramen, AI = thickness at the antegonion and GI = thickness at gonion; PM...

Vascularised fibular free flaps are integral to reconstructive surgery for head and neck tumours. We investigated the morphological characteristics of mandible improve incidence plate-related complications after surgery. Using standard radiological software, thickness measurements inferior or posterior margin were obtained from computed tomography images 300 patients at seven sites: (1) mandibu...
