Author(s): Zainab AH Al-Tamemi*
Objective: Through the use of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography, the purpose of this descriptive study is to demonstrate an extremely uncommon mandibular canal variation (MCV), which presents as a right trifurcation and a left bifurcation. Method: This was a descriptive study of 120 cases of patients with no systemic disorders who presented with painful symptoms and were referred for surgical removal of the lower third molars as a treatment option. The patients' ages ranged from 26 to 52. In order to evaluate the relationship between the third molars and the mandibular canal and to direct the surgical planning, con beam computed tomography was requested. Results: The resulting data were used to conduct an analysis of the tomographic volume. During the course of the investigation of the tomographic sections, it was discovered that there was a bilateral furcation. A comparison is made b.. Read More»
