Fulltext PDFAim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the distance between the apices of molars and premolars to inferior nerve canal and mylohyoid line to establish a relationshipbetween the mandibular canal and mylohyoid line.
Materials and Methods: From 100 CBCT of patient’s cross-sections of 1st premolars, 2nd premolars, 1 stmolars, 2 nd molars were extracted following the inclusion criteria. Linear dimension between mylohyoid ridge to apex of the root, apex of the root to superior border of the mandibular canal, mylohyoid ridge to the superior border of the mandibular canal were measured digitally from CBCT on the left and right-side using CS 3D imaging software version 3.8.
Results: In average distance between the root apex to mandibular canal in right 1 stmolar mesial and distal root is 5.69mm &5.87mm respectively, in left 1 st molar mesial and distal root is 5.76mm & 5.80mm respectively, in right 2nd molar mesial &distal root is 4.98mm & 4.55mm respectively and in the left 2nd molar mesial & distal root is5.02 & 4.35mm respectively. The left 2nd molar distal root was closest to the mandibular canal with mean value of 4.35mm and the right first premolar root was the most distant to the mandibular canal with mean value of 5.47mm. The risk of damage to mandibular canal in the left 2nd molar region is higher.
Conclusion: This study could help the clinician by providing anatomical guidelines about the relative position of the mandibular canal to that of root apices and mylohyoid ridge. The coarse andposition of the mylohyoid line is illustrated
