| Popis: | The mental foramen region is important for dental practise. Wheninferior alveolar nerve arises from the mandibular canal, it runsout ward, upward and backward to open at the mental foramenthen it was called as “anterior loop of mental nerve”. The correctvisualization of anterior loop has an important role for planning ofimplant placement in preventing complications like paresthesiaand bleeding. Reliability and precision of the images obtained withtwo-dimension conventional methods like periapical or panoramicradiography are limited when tracing the anterior loop. Conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) is a succesful method thatprovides three-dimensional imaging with low ionized radiation toimage the anterior loop. In this article anterior loop of the mentalnerve and its imaging will be discussed with literature information. |
