ABSTRACT

Introduction: The previous region of the mandible, located between the mental foramen, contains intraosseous ducts with vascular elements and terminal nervous branches from the inferior alveolar nerve. The objective of the work is to determine the anatomical variants produced in the incisive canal and the superior, inferior, external and internal cortices in edentulous patients with respect to dentate patients in cone beam computed tomography. Material and methods: A retrospective observation al comparative study was carried out. Fifty tomographies were studied in edentulous patients and 50 in dentate patients of both sex es from 38 to 81 years. In each cut a measure men twasmade in height and width of the conduit. The position of the incisive cannel was also determined by performing four measurements. Results: Significant differences were observed regarding the height and width of the incisal canal and also between the distances to the vestibular, lingual, alveolar and basal cortical area between dentate and edentulous patients. Conclusion: A greater bone reabsorption in thee dentulous patients found between the incisive canal and the superior and vestibular cortices and a smaller caliber of the incisive canal with respect to the dentate patient should be verified.
