“…From that point, the MC shows an ascending and anterior pathway until the region of mental foramen. The pathway of the MC was reflected in the present study in closer distances from MC to dental apices from second molars, concurring with some studies (Koivisto et al, 2011;Bürklein et al, 2015), and observing increasing values until the ascending pathway at the second premolars region, at the emergence of mental foramen.…”

“…The literature (Littner et al;Koivisto et al 2011;Bürklein et al), shows similar characteristics to those observed in the present study regarding distance from MC to posterior tooth apices. In general, an increase in this distance exists in the evaluation of distal apices from the second molar to the mesial root of the first molar, with subsequent reduction of this distance in relation to the second premolars.…”

“…The distance from the first molar roots was similar to that reported in some studies (Bornstein et al, 2011;Bürklein et al); however, it was significantly different from the findings of Koivisto et al (2011) (2.3mm) and Sato et al (1 mm). Also, the distance from second premolar to MC reported by Koivisto et al (2016) (2.6mm) was lower than that of the values identified in this study (4.1-3.9 mm).…”

SUMMARY:It is critical to know the precise location and configuration of the mandibular canal (MC) to avoid damages in the alveolar inferior nerve during an invasive dental treatment. The aim of this study was to provide anatomic relationships of the mandibular canal in its entire pathway related to cortical walls and dental roots to serve as basic knowledge for dental clinical procedures performed in this area. We analyzed 50 CBCT images assessing the specific location of MC at the retromolar space as related to inferior teeth roots. Data were analyzed by side using descriptive statistics (median: mean [M], standard deviation [SD], 95 % confidence interval: lower endpoint [IC] and upper endpoint [IC']). The MC length and pathway were measured from the mandibular foramen up to the mental foramen. MC was closer from lingual cortical than buccal at the retromolar space as well the distal root of the second molar and the root of the second premolar are closest to MC. A mean length for the MC of 70.8 (±5.3 mm) for the right side and 71 (±5.8 mm) for the left side were observed. In conclusion, it is critical for clinicians to know three-dimensionally the topographic relationships between the inferior teeth roots and the mandibular canal before proceeding to any invasive dental or surgical procedure at this region.

“…Burklein et al presented the results of their anatomical studies involving over 3,000 measured roots (N=3,127). The distance between root apices and the IANC in the group of female patients was almost half that observed in the group of male patients [21]. In this study sample, the comparison of measurements between the male and female groups yielded similar results.…”

The Reliability of Panoramic Radiography Versus Cone Beam Computed Tomography when Evaluating the Distance to the Alveolar Nerve in the Site of Lateral Teeth

et al. 2017

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to compare the reliability of panoramic radiography (PR) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in the evaluation of the distance of the roots of lateral teeth to the inferior alveolar nerve canal (IANC).Material/Methods100 PR and 100 CBCT images that met the selection criteria were selected from the database. In PR images, the distances were measured using an electronic caliper with 0.01 mm accuracy and white light x-ray film reviewer. Actual values of the measurements were calculated taking into consideration the magnification used in PR images (130%). Measurements on CBCT images were performed using i-CAT Vision software. Statistical data analysis was performed using R software and applying Welch’s t-test and the Wilcoxon test.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference in the mean distance from the root of the second premolar and the mesial and distal roots of the first molar to the IANC between PR and CBCT images. The difference in the mean distance from the mesial and distal roots of the second and the third molars to the IANC measured in PR and CBCT images was statistically significant.ConclusionsPR may be uninformative or misleading when measuring the distance from the mesial and distal roots of the second and the third molars to the IANC.
