For the correct use of this hardware, the surgeon must have adequate knowledge of jaw anatomy to prevent complications during the insertion of screws like in fractures of the mandibular body and angle, when the screws of the plate installed in the compression zone can damage the inferior alveolar nerve within the mandibular canal. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods: To minimize this complication, 66 hemimandibles of adult patients were analyzed in CT scans and manipulated with Dental Slice\u00ae software, (BioParts\u00ae, Brazil) and measured the shortest distance from the inferior cortex of the mandibular canal to the inferior cortex of the mandibular body during the path of the inferior alveolar nerve, since the mandibular foramen until the mental foramen. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results: The result obtained showed a wide variation of the shortest distance measured (3.52\u00a0mm\u201311.5\u00a0mm) with an average of 7.99\u00a0mm. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusion: The conclusion demonstrated a minimum distance of 3.52\u00a0mm below the cortical mandibular canal to the lower border of the mandible and should be considered as a safety margin during the application of fixing the material in the region of the mandibular body.
