“…29 Bifurcations in the mandibular body may cause complications in procedures such as endodontics. 2 They may influence prosthesis support, orthodontics 16,17 and insertion of dental implants. 17 In surgical procedures, such as mandibular osteotomy, surgery complexity increases with the addition of a second vascular-nerve bundle.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Greater knowledge of the mandibular canal anatomy may help in performing different procedures in the dental clinic. Because of the proximity of the inferior alveolar nerve to the mandibular canal, there are procedures that offer great risk of nerve injury, such as lower third molar extractions, placement of dental implants, orthognathic surgery, and fixation of mandibular fractures.…”

The objective of this study was to classify the morphology of bifid mandibular canals and to evaluate their relationship with the roots of third molars, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. The CBCT scans of 75 patients were analyzed and the bifurcations were classified according to Langlais et al. (1985). The relationship of bifurcation and third molars was established according to the following classification: class A -uninvolved, class B -close relationship, class C -intimate relationship and class D -absence of third molars. Data were submitted to descriptive statistics, and the results indicated that the patients' mean age was 48.2 (± 13.2) years. Unilateral bifurcation (Type 1) was the most frequent type (72.6%), followed by unilateral Type 2 (19.3%). Class D was the most frequent (57.33%), followed by class C (21.33%), class B (13.33%) and class A (8%). It could be concluded that most cases presented unilateral bifid mandibular canals extending to the third molar or adjacent regions, and when present, the roots seemed to be a continuation of the bifid mandibular canal.

“…Radiographically the MF is appreciated as a round or oval radiolucent area in the inferior part of the body of the mandible on both sides (4). Due to the oblique path of the mental canal, it is difficult to identify the MF consistently on intra oral radiography.…”

“…The number of mental nerves can vary in individuals and in different races. [1,2] The (MF) is a strategically important landmark during osteotomy procedures, anesthetic nerve blocks and prevention of neurovascular complications after invasive procedures on the lower jaw. Its anatomy is important for evaluating the morphometry of the (MF) in different populations.…”

“…[6] Racial variances in mandibular dimensions have been studied among several Caucasian, African, Asian, and Arab populations. [9][10][11][12] An important landmark in carrying out the mental or incisive nerve block is the mental foramen [13] The position of this foramen has also been studied, with racial differences again being found [14][15][16][17][18][19] What is not known, is whether there are significant variations on these mandibular landmarks(MF) in Sudanese patients compared with those already reported. There are no apparent published reports on its relative short axis in Sudanese populations.Although the variations appears according to the ethnic groups, this study aims to measure the MF width and to find out the variations related to age and gender using 3D CT done for adult Sudanese population as well as to compare the findings with other populations and to establish a local reference for Sudanese regarding the MF width.…”
