The Impact of Diagnosis, Extent and Treatment modality of mandibular benign lesions on the supposedly repositioning of the Inferior Alveolarcanal -A retrospective observational study (original) (raw)

The study investigates the effects of benign lesions in the posterior mandible on the positioning of the Inferior Alveolar Neurovascular Bundle post-removal. A retrospective analysis of 31 patients who underwent preoperative imaging and surgical intervention revealed significant relocation of the mandibular canal after excision of benign tumors and cysts. The results indicate that the presence of a bony barrier affects canal remodeling, and the choice of treatment modality does not influence the subsequent repositioning. Grafting should only be considered where it is anatomically necessary.
