Background:
The anterior loop of mental nerve is the important anatomical structure in the most distal area of the interforamina region which shown wide variations in length.
Aim/Hypothesis:
To compare the length of anterior loop and diameter of mental foramen between dentate and non-dentate using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)
Material and Methods:
Imaging data from CBCT of 151 patients was included in this retrospective study. The imaging data was separated and examined to dentate group and non-dentate group. The length of the anterior loop and the diameter of mental foramen in all four dimensions including anteroposterior, buccolingual, mesiodistal and vertical from CBCT were assessed.
Results:
The data showed that the 105 patients in dentate group, mean age of 50.86±13.47 years (range 11-79 years) and the 46 patients in non-dentate group, mean age of 62.76±8.35 years (range 46-86 years) . This study found the anterior loop length of dentate group [2.72mm (1.28-5.92mm)] was significantly longer than non-dentate group [2.40 mm (1.21-4.64mm)] (P=0.04438). However, no significant difference was found in diameter of mental foramen in all dimensions between dentate and non-dentate group.
Conclusions and clinical implications:
Remodeling of the mandible after tooth extraction possibly resulting in minimal shortening anterior loop of the mental nerve. These differences may be, at least partly, due to the influence of tooth loss and this information may possess potential valuable clinical relevance.
