This preliminary study was planned to provide information about preoperative mandibular canal (MC) position and the postoperative positional changes of MC and length in three dimensions, with the purpose of providing some assistance in reducing inferior alveolar neurosensory disturbance (IAND).
MC was examined on CBCT data using SimPlant Pro Standalone 13.0. MC locations were measured in all dimensions, with respect to mandibular bony borders.
The results showed that MC is frequently located in the midthird of the ramus anteroposteriorly and superoinferiorly and in the midthird of the corpus superoinferiorly. Postoperatively, ramus width was increased, ramus length was decreased significantly, and MC was repositioned laterally and inferiorly. MC length was decreased on both sides, non-correlated with the set-back amounts.
Preoperative results may be beneficial for the prediction of MC position for surgeons, and postoperative results will be used for the following studies to correlate postoperative positional changes with IAND.
本初步研究旨在提供术前下颌管(MC)位置以及术后MC在三维空间中的位置变化和长度信息,以协助减少下牙槽神经感觉障碍(IAND)。
使用SimPlant Pro Standalone 13.0在CBCT数据上检查MC。测量MC相对于下颌骨边界在所有维度上的位置。
结果显示,MC在前后方向和上下方向上常位于下颌支的中三分之一处,在上下方向上位于下颌体的中三分之一处。术后,下颌支宽度增加,下颌支长度显著减少,MC向外下方重新定位。两侧MC长度均减少,与后缩量无关。
术前结果可能有助于外科医生预测MC位置,术后结果将用于后续研究,以将术后位置变化与IAND相关联。
