Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the visualizability, topography, and course of the mandibular canal with particular attention to the incisive canal on 3-T MRI. Particular attention was paid to the incisive canal anastomosis at the symphysis. A total of 64 dentate patients were examined using a modified T2 space sequence using 3-T MRI. The scans were analyzed with respect to the topography of the entire course of the mandibular canal, mental canal, incisive canal, and nutrient canals. The high-field MRI of the lower jaw allowed detailed visualization of the mandibular canal, the incisive canal, and the surrounding connective tissue structures. In the context of the present study, 3-T MRI was found to be a potentially useful imaging method for displaying the course of the entire inferior dental canal for pre-implantation planning, surgical planning, and diagnosis.
