Article Synopsis
  • The mandibular canal (MC) is a crucial anatomical structure that needs careful assessment using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) before surgical procedures.
  • A study analyzed 112 CBCT images of Vietnamese patients to determine the MC's dimensions and its relationship with nearby anatomical features.
  • Results showed that the average diameter of the MC was similar regardless of missing teeth, highlighting the importance of CBCT in treatment planning to prevent nerve damage during dental surgeries.
