To prevent it, preoperative radiographic assessment is essential.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aims:<\/jats:title>\n Aim of our study was to examine the visibility and presence of the MIC along with measurement of the length of MIC by utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Settings and Design:<\/jats:title>\n Images from 50 subjects, ranging in age from 20 to 60 years, who had their mandibles examined by CBCT were taken from the archive.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods and Material:<\/jats:title>\n Reconstructed images included cross-sectional and panoramic views. The canal\u2019s visibility was obtained from the mesial to the mental foramen and finally to the incisal extension. The shortest distance between the mesial and distal portions of the canal was determined to be the length of the MIC.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Statistical Analysis Used:<\/jats:title>\n \n To analyze independent samples,\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -tests were employed.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n In 40 cases (80%), the visibility of MIC was seen as bilateral, and in 10 cases (20%), as unilateral. The visible length among the population ranged from a minimum of 0.00 to a maximum of 25.25 mm, with an average of 15.37 \u00b1 5.59.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Future research could utilize the differences in prevalence with respect to gender and visibility as a point of reference.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_226_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,6]],"date-time":"2024-07-06T04:00:09Z","timestamp":1720238409000},"page":"S2327-S2329","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Evaluation of Visibility of Mandibular Incisive Canal by Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: An Observational Study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Prachi","family":"Anand","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology (Ph.D. Scholar), Narshinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dhaval N.","family":"Mehta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology (Ph.D. Guide), Narshinhbhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, Sankalchand Patel University, Visnagar, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abhishek","family":"Dubey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Maharana Pratap Dental College and Hospital, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richa","family":"Thakur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Dental College of Azamgarh, Purvanchal University, Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rohit","family":"Malviya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics Crown and Bridge, Career Post Graduate Institute of Dental Sciences, Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University, Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sonia","family":"Gullia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Mahamaya Allopathic Rajkiya Medical College Ambedkarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.4103\/tcmj.tcmj_76_19","article-title":"Assessment of prevalence and position of mandibular incisive canal: A cone beam computed tomography study","volume":"32","author":"Ayesha","year":"2020","journal-title":"Tzu Chi Med J"},{"key":"R2-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e723","DOI":"10.4317\/medoral.20644","article-title":"The mandibular incisive canal and its anatomical relationships: A cone beam computed tomography study","volume":"20","author":"Pereira-Maciel","year":"2015","journal-title":"Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal"},{"key":"R3-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sdentj.2017.01.001","article-title":"Determination of the position of mental foramen and frequency of anterior loop in Saudi population.
