| INTRODUC TI ONProper knowledge of anatomic structures of the oral cavity that are relevant in implant dentistry is of utmost importance to overcome avoidable intra-and postoperative complications (mainly neurosensory alterations and bleeding 1,2 ). Bleeding and hematoma formation might lead to serious life-threatening complications, 2 while nerve injuries are commonly associated with varying degrees of sensory loss and pain. 1 Penetration of the nasal cavity or maxillary sinus by dental implants might lead to chronic sinusitis (also known as chronic rhinosinusitis), thus necessitating their removal. 3,4 These complications occur readily when the location, course, and anatomic variations of neurovascular bundles, major blood vessels, and their anastomoses, as well as the contour of the alveolar ridges, are not properly assessed before implant placement. Thus, the aim of this review is to summarize the anatomic structures and their variations, in both mandible and maxilla, in relation to implant placement. | MANDIB LE | Mandibular canal and inferior alveolar nerveThe inferior alveolar nerve is the largest branch of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve. It enters the mandibular canal at the mandibular foramen, runs through the mandibular corpus, and commonly divides into 2 terminal branches (namely the incisive nerve and the mental nerve). 5 The diameter of the mandibular canal commonlyvaries between 2.1 and 5 mm, 6-9 and it lies symmetric to the mandible although the location may vary in the vertical and horizontal planes (Table 1). | 65RAMANAUSKAITE ET Al.

“…The positional location of the MA was anterior, superior and inferior to the MN in 40, 20, and 40% of specimens, respectively. According to Matani et al (), the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) is located inferior to the inferior alveolar artery (IAA) in most cases at the molar area inside the mandibular canal. The positional relationship of IAA to IAN could affect that of MA to MN.…”

The mental artery: anatomical study and literature review

et al. 2019

The mental artery is a terminal branch of the inferior alveolar artery arising from the maxillary artery. It often communicates with the submental and inferior labial arteries branching off the facial artery. To our knowledge, few reports have described its anatomy and clinical significance in detail. The aim of this paper was to clarify the anatomy of the mental artery. Ten sides from five embalmed Caucasian cadaveric heads were used. The facial artery was identified at the point passing through a notch for the facial vessels and was traced medially. The mental artery and its anastomoses with other arteries were observed in detail. It was detected on all sides. Fourteen anastomoses were found, eight with the inferior labial artery and six with the submental artery. On one side, the mental artery directly supplied the lower lip with no anastomosis. The inferior labial artery tended to anastomose with the mental artery superior to the mental foramen and was likely to anastomose with the submental artery anterior to the mental foramen. We clarified the detailed anatomy of the mental artery. Our results could provide dentists with information that will help them to make oral surgery safer and more successful.

“…Multiple slices from the same tissue block can help us to envisage the structures in three dimensions. Position: to determine the positional relationship of two or more anatomical structures.The positional relationship between two or more microstructures can be challenging to establish without histology. Without histology, for instance, it is difficult to determine the exact position of glandular tissue within a muscle (Figure 6) (Lesser et al, 2024), or the positional relationship between nerves and vessels when they run together (Figure 7) (Matani et al, 2014). The location from which the specimen was harvested needs to be noted accurately.…”

Histological observation under light microscopy has long been used in human cadaveric studies. However, it can distort the interpretations of findings if not used appropriately; there is no guide for its proper use. The aim of this article is to revisit and discuss the correct use of histology in human cadaveric studies, following discussions with experts in multiple fields of medicine, and to create the first guide for such usage. We reached a consensus with the experts, agreeing that when this principle (structure, quantification, interaction, position: SQIP) is applied to histological observations, the findings will be interpreted correctly. Appropriate use of this recommendation can make human cadaveric studies more accurate and informative. This is the first histology guide for human cadaveric studies.
