Abstract

Diagnosis is a very crucial part of patient care that largely affects determination of prognosis and customization of treatment plan. The aim of this article is to look into one of the aspects of diagnosis of a mandibular vital structure i.e., the mandibular canal and the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle and vessels related to it. It is critical to determine the location and configuration of mandibular canal and related vital structures during procedures like implant placements, osteotomies, trauma, posterior RCT etc to avoid unintentional damage to these structures as well as for adequate anesthesia. Literature was selected through search of case reports, literature reviews and standards books for radiology. No restrictions were imposed regarding year of publication.
