Assessment of bifid mandibular canals using cone beam computed tomography in general population: a retrospective evaluation

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of bifid mandibular canals (BMC) within a subset of the Saudi population was 12.3%. The retromolar canal was identified as the most frequently occurring type, accounting for 56.7% of cases. No significant variations in BMC prevalence were observed concerning age and gender. Consequently, it is strongly advised to conduct a thorough assessment of the mandibular canal and its potential variations using CBCT imaging before undertaking mandibular surgical procedures, in order to minimize the risk of complications.PMID:38497856 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35587
