This study aimed to review the literature on adult mandibular lingula (ML) locations and related distances determined using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). A search was conducted for studies on CBCT using the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase. The search results were limited to studies published between 1970 and 2021. The inclusion criteria were the investigation of ML location, CBCT, and participants aged ≥18 years. Eligible studies were examined for the distances from the lingual tip to the anterior ramus border, posterior ramus border, sigmoid notch, inferior ramus border, and occlusal plane. Eight studies on CBCT qualified for inclusion in the study. The mean distances from the ML to the anterior ramus border were 15.57 to 20 mm. In most of these, the ML was located above the occlusal plane. No significant differences were observed in the location and related distances for the ML among patients of different sexes, ethnicities, or skeletal patterns.
本研究旨在回顾有关使用锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）确定的成人下颌舌骨嵴（ML）位置及相关距离的文献。使用以下数据库对CBCT相关研究进行了检索：PubMed、科学网和Embase。检索结果限于1970年至2021年发表的研究。纳入标准为对ML位置、CBCT以及年龄≥18岁参与者的调查。对符合条件的研究检查了从舌骨嵴尖端到下颌支前缘、下颌支后缘、乙状切迹、下颌支下缘和咬合平面的距离。八项关于CBCT的研究符合纳入本研究的条件。ML到下颌支前缘的平均距离为15.57至20毫米。在大多数研究中，ML位于咬合平面上方。不同性别、种族或骨骼类型的患者中，ML的位置和相关距离未观察到显著差异。
