“…These findings are in agreement with the results of Makris et al 4 (2010) and Rosa et al 34 (2013) that detected IC in 91% and 98.5% of cases respectively, using CBCT. According to Pires et al 37 (2012), the ICs could not be identified in all of the CBCT images due to the small diameter of this structure.…”

“…Additionally, the MF is presented as a structure that may have different anatomical variations in terms of size, shape and location 3 . The use of appropriate imaging techniques is therefore essential to enable the accurate identification and location of these vital structures, avoiding potential injuries when surgical procedures are performed in the mandibular interforaminal region, including insertion of dental implants, mentoplasty and rehabilitation after trauma 4 . Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a relatively new imaging modality that provides a detailed evaluation of important bony structures 5 .…”

Aim: To evaluate the position, presence, appearance and extent of various anatomical landmarks in the mandibular interforaminal region of Brazilian patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: A total of 142 CBCT examinations were analyzed to determine the most common location of the mental foramen (MF), the presence and extent of the anterior loop (AL) of the inferior alveolar nerve, and the appearance and length of the incisive canal (IC). The presence of sexual dimorphism and differences with relation to the left and right sides were also evaluated. Results: Most of the MF (45.5%) was located below the second premolar. The AL and the IC were observed in 18.9 and 96.5% of the images respectively. The average length of AL and IC was 3.14±1.25 mm and 13.68±5.94 mm respectively. No significant differences (p>0.05) between genders or left and right sides were observed for all evaluated parameters. Conclusions: The most common location of the MF, the high rate of visualization of the IC and the occasional presence of AL in the studied Brazilian population demonstrate the importance of using threedimensional images of the mandibular anterior region, allowing proper surgical planning and preventing injury to the neurovascular bundle.

ÖZET Maksillofasiyal bölgedeki anatomik noktaların CBCT görüntüleriDiş hekimliği radyolojisinde konvansiyonel çekim teknikleri baş ve boyun bölgesinde üç boyutlu kompleks yapıların sadece iki boyutlu görüntülenmesine olanak verir. CBCT, diğer bir ismiyle dental volumetrik tomografi, maksillofasiyal bölgede daha hızlı veri elde edebilmek amacıyla konvansiyonel bilgisayarlı tomografiye (BT) alternatif olarak geliştirilmiştir. CBCT'nin avantajları arasında daha kısa ışınlama süresi, hasta hareketine bağlı olarak oluşan distorsiyonda azalma, multiplanar görüntüleme olanağı ve hastanın maruz kaldığı dozda azalma bulunmaktadır. CBCT klinisyenlerin maksillofasiyal bölgede yer alan anatomik noktaların lokalizasyonun belirlenmesinde ve anatomik yapıların aksiyal, koronal, sagittal düzlemlerde görüntülenmesine olanak sağlar. Bu derlemede maksillofasiyal bölgede yer alan bazı anatomik noktaların CBCT görüntülerinden bahsetmekteyiz. Anahtar sözcükler: Anatomik noktalar, CBCT, maksillofasiyal bölge ABS TRACT CBCT images of anatomic landmarks in maxillofacial regionConventional radiographic techniques in dental radiology allows only 2D images of 3D structures of head and neck region. CBCT is a recent technology, is also named as dental volumetric tomography, which was developed as an alternative to conventional CT using cone beam-shaped X-ray to provide more rapid acquisition of a data set of entire maxillofacial region. CBCT has remarkable advantages such as shorter exposure time, reduced image distortion due to patient movements, decreased patient dose and multiplanar screening. CBCT also allows the clinicians to localize the anatomic structures of the maxillofacial region and these anatomic structures can be visualized in various planes such as axial, coronal and sagittal planes. In this review we mentioned some anatomic structures of the maxillofacial region by using CBCT imaging.

“…The study suggested that the lingual foramen was a consistent finding to the lingual side of the mandible in the midline, being present in over 99% of the dried specimen examined. The foramen was definitely visible in 81% and 82% in Makris (Makris et al, 2010) based on CBCT and Jacobs (Jacobs et al,. 2002) based on CT studies, respectively.…”

Evaluation of the visibility and the course of the mandibular incisive canal and the lingual foramen using cone‐beam computed tomography

Abstract: The high detection rate of the incisive canal and the lingual foramen in the anterior region of the mandible using CBCT indicates the potential high preoperative value of CBCT scan for surgical procedures in the anterior mandible.
