Abstract
The CBCT scan is an accurate, noninvasive method to evaluate the position of the mandibular canal. The variable position of this structure between patients suggests the need for CBCT to determine the proximity of the nerve bundle before attempting invasive treatment in this area. Dental practitioners should consider potential differences of mandibular canal position as a result of age and gender when performing these procedures in this area.
