Abstract
Background & Purpose: Anterior loop of the mental nerve is a crucial anatomic feature for anterior mandibular osteotomies and implant placement. In most cases, two-dimensional imaging techniques are insufficient to identify and quantify the mental nerve loop. Any damage to this loop causes paresthesia, numbness, or pain in the area that the mental nerve supplies. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) will be used in this study to examine its prevalence. The prevalence will be computed, allowing for the safe placement of implants or osteotomy cuts in the premolar region
