“…found that the incidence of an accessory or bifid mandibular canal was 38.00% [37]. In our present study, we found that the IAN may give off branches that course through accessory or bifid mandibular canals in 30.61% of the cases.…”

“…When undergoing surgery involving the mental foramen region, the presence of the submental foramen may lead to complications such as poor anesthesia, intraoperative bleeding, and nerve injury 3,8) . Studies have shown that the rate of submental foramen was 2%-10.7% [8][9][10] and the average diameter of the accessory mental foramen was 0.93 mm 10) . The CBCT measurements by Naitoh et al found that the mental foramen was elliptical, with a diameter of 1.1-2.9 mm and an average of 1.9 mm 11) .…”

To evaluate the occurrence and morphological characteristics of related anatomical structures in the anterior mental foramen region and to verify the measurement consistency by cone beam CT (CBCT) and specimen measurement. Thirty-two mandibular specimens were selected to measure the relevant anatomical structures and to take CBCT images of the specimens for 3D reconstruction using NNT-Viewer. The studies included the occurrence and diameter of the mental foramen, accessory foramen, median lingual foramen, the distance from the lower margin of the foramen to the lower margin of the mandible, and the distance from the upper margin of the foramen to the crest of the alveolar ridge. Thirty-two specimens including a total of 59 central lingual foramens, with a 100% probability of occurrence. Four specimens were found to have an accessory mental foramen, of which 1 had bilateral accessory mental foramens. Compared with direct observation, there were differences in the number of central lingual foramens in 3 specimens. The mean distance between the upper mental foramen edge and the alveolus crest was 13.7 mm. There were statistically significant differences between the two methods in measuring the distance (mm) between the central lingual aperture and the alveolar crest (P<0.05). Except for the distance between the central lingual aperture and the alveolar crest (ICC=0.658), the ICC of the other study variables was above 0.85. The measurement results of the two methods showed a high degree of consistency. The measurement results of CBCT in this study showed a high degree of consistency with the measurement results from specimens, and the relevant anatomical structures of jaw bones could be analyzed using CBCT before the operation in the intermental foramen region.

“…The vast majority of diagnostic and therapeutic applications in the field of dentistry require the use of this technology, which is primarily used for pathological examination of tooth roots, such as periapical [ 169 ] and root resorption [ 170 ], pathological imaging of the dental pulp, such as root canal therapy, imaging of bones in cranial segments, such as the mandible [ 92 , 93 ], and soft tissue evaluation, such as the gingiva [ 94 ]. It is worth noting that radiation exposure is its most significant feature compared to other techniques.…”

Background Three-dimensional(3D) reconstruction technology is a method of transforming real goals into mathematical models consistent with computer logic expressions and has been widely used in dentistry, but the lack of review and summary leads to confusion and misinterpretation of information. The purpose of this review is to provide the first comprehensive link and scientific analysis of 3D reconstruction technology and dentistry to bridge the information bias between these two disciplines. Methods The IEEE Xplore and PubMed databases were used for rigorous searches based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, supplemented by Google Academic as a complementary tool to retrieve all literature up to February 2023. We conducted a narrative review focusing on the empirical findings of the application of 3D reconstruction technology to dentistry. Results We classify the technologies applied to dentistry according to their principles and summarize the different characteristics of each category, as well as the different application scenarios determined by these characteristics of each technique. In addition, we indicate their development prospects and worthy research directions in the field of dentistry, from individual techniques to the overall discipline of 3D reconstruction technology, respectively. Conclusions Researchers and clinicians should make different decisions on the choice of 3D reconstruction technology based on different objectives. The main trend in the future development of 3D reconstruction technology is the joint application of technology.
