Expect the unexpected: The course of the inferior alveolar artery - preliminary results and clinical implications

This study provides new and encompassing information on the complete course and position of the IAA. This course is of practical use for oral implantology and various surgical procedures in dental- and maxillofacial surgery. Variations in the typical IAA course and site-dependent positional changes may be referred to as mandible growth and functional adaption to occlusion anomalies. This report helps enhance the morphological and functional understanding of IAA relationship during mandible development.PMID:34823013 | DOI:10.1016/j.aanat.2021.151867
