Statistic study regarding mandibular canal in dentate human specimens

Abstract

The major risk of dental implant treatment in the mandible is represented by the mandibular canal. Precise location of the mandibular canal is essential for oral rehabilitation with dental implants. The aim of this study was to analyze the topography of the mandibular canal in order to increase the long-term performance of oral rehabilitation with dental implants in „poor areas“. The topography of the mandibular canal was statistically studied on 11 human mandibles. The results obtained show similarities but also differences with data reported in other specialized references.
