ABSTRACT
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of mandibular canal course with mental foramen localization on edentulous patients’ for implant placement.
Material and Methods: This retrospective study was carried out on the panoramic radiographs of 788 edentulous patients. Horizontal measurements L (left mental foramen to the left mandibular ramus), R (right mental foramens to the right mandibular ramus), M (between the mental foramens) and vertical measurements D1 (mental foramen’s inferior border to the mandibular basis), D2 (mental foramen’s superior border to the alveolar crest) were digitally evaluated. Mandibular canals were classified into two types as linear and elliptic. Analysis of demographic data and correlations between canal course and linear measurements were carried out. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro Wilks tests, Kruskal Wallis test, and Chi-squared test was used to compare the qualitative data (p <0.05).
Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the D1/D2 mean values and the canal course according to the age groups. The rate of the elliptic canal course in the men (41.6%) was significantly higher than that in the women (26.6%). There was no statistically significant difference between the mean D1/D2, (R + L)/M and L/M values according to the canal course.
Conclusions: Both elliptical and linear canal courses do not affect the interforaminal distances, resulting ineffective in the anteroposterior spread of implants in cases of interforaminal implant placement.
Key Words: Mandibular canal, canal course, interforaminal area, canal anatomy, implant.
ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı dişsiz hastalarda implant uygulaması için mandibular kanal seyri ve mental foramen konumunun ilişkisinin değerlendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışma 788 dişsiz hastanın panoramik radyografileri ile yürütülmüştür. Ölçümler horizontal ve vertikal şeklinde dijital olarak yapılmıştır. L (sol mental foramen ile sol ramus arası mesafe), R (sağ mental foramen ile sağ ramus arası mesafe), M (mental foramenler arası mesafe) horizontal ölçümler; D1 (mental foramenin alt sınırı ile basis mandibular arası mesafe) ve D2 (mental foramenin üst sınırı ile alveol kret tepesi arası mesafe) ise vertikal ölçümlerdir. Mandibular kanal seyri doğrusal ve eliptik olarak iki sınıfta incelenmiştir. Demografik veriler, kanal seyri ve dijital ölçümler arası ilişki değerlendirilmiştir. Kolmogorov-Smirnov ve Shapiro Wilks testleri, Kruskal Wallis testi, ve Ki-Kare testi niteliksel verilerin karşılaştırılmasında kullanılmıştır (p <0,05).
Bulgular: Yaş grupları arasında D1/D2 oranları ve kanal seyri açısından istatsitiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir. Kanal seyrinin eliptik görülme oranı erkeklerde (%41,6) kadınlardan (%26,6) anlamlı derecede yüksek bulunmuştur. Kanal seyrine gore D1/D2, (R+L)/M ve L/M ortalamaları açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık yoktur.
Sonuç: Eliptik ve doğrusal kanal seyrinin interforaminal mesafeye herhangi bir etkisi yoktur, bu durum antero-posterior yönde interforaminal aralığa implant yerleştirilmesini etkilememktedir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Mandibular kanal, kanal seyri, interforaminal bölge, kanal anatomisi, implant.
