Abstract

Abstract: Objective: To evluate the lingual foramina (LF) and lingual canal (LC) in the mandibular complete edentulism by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: CBCT images of 70 patients with type Ⅲ alveolar bone resorption in the mandibular complete edentulism from January 2017 to June 2018 were selected. The number of LF in interforaminal region and the frequency, distribution, diameter, distance from the alveolar dome/submandibular plane, and the length, direction and termination of the LC were observed and measured. Statistical analysis was performed on the data using SPSS17.0 software. Results: A total of 246 LF were found in 70 patients. They were divided into median lingual foramina (MLF) and lateral lingual foramina (LLF). Among them, MLF accounted for 52.4%, and to the lower border of mandibular was 8.51±3.20mm. The diameter was significantly different in gender (male>female). The average length of the LC was 5.99±1.76mm, and 54.1% of the LC intersected the incisor tube. Conclusion: The LF is common in mandibular interforaminal region, especially in the median area. This study has good clinical significance for the operation of implants for mandibular complete edentulism.
