Thickness of Buccal Bone at Various Sites of the Mandible and Its Clinical Significance in Monocortical Screws Placement Using Multi-Slice Computed Tomography

Abstract: Background:Open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of using miniplates and screws is the treatment of choice of mandibular fractures. It is important to know both: the region where the bone provides a firm anchorage, and the topography of the dental apices and inferior alveolar nerve to avoided imaging them when inserting the screw. The aim of this study is to determine the thickness of buccal cortical plate and that of buccal bone at the parasymphysis and mandibular body, thereby determining the area that… Show more
