Introduction: Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) offers an accurate and
minimal radiation exposure technique in assessing mandibular morphological
structures such as lingual concavity during implant planning and placement, which
if not adequately taken care of can result in lingual plate perforation and subsequent
complications.
Aim: The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence and degree
of lingual concavities in the first molar region in mandibular arch to decrease chance of
lingual cortical bone perforation while placement of dental implants. Methodology: A
descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted on 165 CBCT images (86 males & 79
females). Mandibular morphological parameter such as ridge types, ridge width and
height, angle between lingual surface and line drawn above the canal were assesse.. Read More»
