With residual ridge resorption mandibular canal wall also gets affected, causing dehiscence of mandibular canal. Little knowledge is available regarding the relationship of specific systemic diseases like thyroid, diabetes and asthma, with the amount of residual ridge resorption. So this study was carried out with the following aims and objectives. 1. To assess the status of the mandibular canal in the edentulous mandible. 2. To discover relationship between resorption of the borders of the mandibular canal and specific systemic diseases like thyroid, diabetes and asthma with gender variation. 3.
