- Abstract:
The article discusses a study which identified and measured the anterior extension of the alveolar loop (aAL) and the caudal extension of the alveolar loop (cAL) of the inferior alveolar nerve using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The selection criteria for scans in the study are outlined. Details are provided on the patients' demographic data, dental status and applied CBCT resolution and the frequency of the aAL anterior. Recommendations for anterior mandible surgery are offered.
