  Context and Aim: Dental implants are widely used for rehabilitation of edentulous arches. Yet, placement of oral implants in mandible is associated with numerous complications including hemorrhage and neurosensory disturbances. Enumerating precise information concerning the vital structures of the mandible, thus, becomes all the more important before the placement of implants. The aim of the present study was to determine the efficiency and accuracy of digital orthopantomography (OPG) and cone beam CT (CBCT) in determining the location of mandibular canal in pre-operative assessment of mandibles for implant placement. Materials and Methods: Ten dry edentulous mandibles of adult humans were selected for this study. The study comprised of two phases, namely, a radiographic phase and a clinical phase. The radiographic p.. Read More»
