“…In the current study, the mental foramen position was more frequently observed between lower bicuspids (74%). This outcome is in line with manypreviousinvestigations [22,26,[28][29][30][31][32][33] , demonstrating a predominant location of the mental foramen between the first and second lower bicuspids. However, there is disagreement if we look up at other studies.…”

“…It is for these reasons that many researchers [7,8,13] , have emphasized the importance of evaluating its precise location using cone beam tomographic views. Additionally, studies about the mental foramen, have been carried out in a diversity of ethnic groups [6,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] ; however, investigations relating facial types and the mental foramen, are extremely scarce, indicating the need for further research.…”

“…Various approaches have been suggested for avoiding complications, such as direct visualization during surgery; identification of its location on periapical or panoramic radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT); or maintaining an average safety distance, which may vary among different individuals or ethnicities. 8 9 Currently, the most accurate available modality for dentists to quantitatively determine the presence of AL is high-resolution CBCT. 10 According to the literature, major variations have been reported in the prevalence and length of the AL; its prevalence is reported to range from 7.7% 11 to 95.2% 12 and its length from 0.25 mm 13 to 19 mm.…”

Purpose This study aimed to identify the prevalence and extension of the anterior loop (AL) of the mental nerve in different populations and according to different cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging settings. Materials and Methods Medline/PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest were searched. The main inclusion criterion was ALs evaluated in CBCT images. The quality of studies was assessed with the Joanna Briggs Institute risk of bias checklist. Subgroup analyses were conducted for sex, side, continent, voxel size, field of view, and type of CBCT-reconstruction images with a random-effects model. Results Sixty-three studies with 13,743 participants (27,075 hemimandibles) were included. An AL was found in 40.6% (95% CI: 32.8%-48.9%, P <0.05) of participants and 36.0% (95% CI: 27.5%-45.5%, P <0.05) of hemimandibles, in 34.9% (95% CI: 25.1%-46.2%, P <0.05) of males and 34.5% (95% CI: 23.5%-47.4%, P <0.05) of females. The average length of ALs was 2.39 mm (95% CI: 2.07-2.70 mm, P <0.05). Their extension was 2.13 mm (95% CI: 1.54-2.73 mm, P <0.05) in males and 1.85 mm (95% CI: 1.35-2.36 mm, P <0.05) in females. Significant differences were observed regarding the prevalence and length of ALs among continents and for its measured length on different CBCT-reconstruction images, but not between other subgroups. Conclusion AL was a relatively common finding. The voxel size and fields of view of CBCT devices were adequate for assessing AL; however, a 2-mm safety margin from anatomical structures (such as the AL) could be recommended to be considered when using CBCT imaging.

“…Variations in the extent of the incisive canal (IC) in the mandibular anterior region have been associated with geography, gender and whether the patient is dentate or edentulous. 3,4 It is of utmost importance to appreciate the anatomy of this region to avoid any injury to the neurovascular bundles. Sensory dysfunction may occur when the mandibular incisive nerve is damaged during an under implant placement procedure or any surgical procedure involving the anterior region of the mandible.…”

Objective: To determine the mean distance of mandibular incisive canal from the mental foramen in patients reporting to a tertiary care centre using Cone Beam Computerized Tomography for placement of dental implants in the anterior/interforaminal region. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Prosthodontics, Foundation University College of Dentistry Rawalpindi, Jun to Nov 2019. Methodology: A total of 70 patients participated between the age of 20-45 years. Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (the investigation was carried out and measurements of the mandibular incisive canal from mental foramen were recorded with the help of measuring tools in the software and noted down on the proforma. Data were analyzed using SPSS-20. Results: The number of patients selected for this study was 70. Out of these 70 patients, 33 (47.1%) were males and 37 (52.9%) were females. The mean age of patients in this study was 36.31 ± 6.38 years. The mean distance/extension of the mandibular incisive canal from left mental foramen and right mental foramen in all patients was recorded to be 14.49 ± 6.31 mm and 14.97 ± 7.10 mm respectively. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it is concluded that a maximum distance of 22mm of the incisive canal from the mental foramen was observed using cone-beam computerized tomography.
