Precise localization of the third molars in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve canal is critical from a clinical point of view and strongly affects the surgical treatment outcome. Recently, by using three-dimensional modeling software, the relationship of third molar root apices and inferior alveolar nerve canal can be better understood. In this study, the spatial relationship of two surgi...

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...

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 (...

introduction : achieving successful anesthesia and performing pain-free root canal treatment are important aims in dentistry. this is not always achievable and therefore, practitioners are constantly seeking newer techniques, equipments, and anesthetic solutions for this very purpose. the aim of this review is to introduce strategies to achieve profound anesthesia particularly in difficult case...

background and aim: the inferior alveolar canal must be constantly examined as an important anatomical landmark in the study of lower jaw, particularly posterior body and mandibular ramus sites, in dental and surgical procedures. in the present study, the effect of two pathological lesions, ameloblastomas and keratocystic odontogenic tumour, on canal displacement were investigated. materials an...

objective: the knowledge of anatomic landmarks’ positions, including inferior alveolar nerve’s canal, is crucial for dentist, who has to master it. it is important to know the exact location and anatomic variety of this 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 tomograp...

OBJECTIVES It is critical to determine the location and configuration of the mandibular canal and related vital structures during the implant treatment. The purpose of the present study was to review the literature concerning the mandibular canal and inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle anatomical variations related to the implant surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Literature was selected throug...

Precise localization of the third molars in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve canal is critical from a clinical point of view and strongly affects the surgical treatment outcome. Recently, by using threedimensional modeling software, the relationship of third molar root apices and inferior alveolar nerve canal can be better understood. In this study, the spatial relationship of two surgic...
