| Abstract: Objective : The purpose of the present study is to detect the anatomical variations in mandibular canal and its relation to the mental foramen using panoramic radiograph at Kerbala province Material and Methods: The visibility of mandibular canal according to the age and gender & the relation between the mandibular canal and the mental foramen on panoramic radiography in 266 samples panoramic images of Iraqi subjects were evaluated carefully and the radiographic finding was recorded when identified .Literature was selected through a search of PubMed.Keywords used for search were mandibular canal, mental foramen, and panoramic radiography. Results: For the whole sample (266) radiographs , we found that there are (130) visible which represent (48.87 %) of the sample; also( 101) radiographs appear moderately visible which represent (37.96 % )of the sample while the poor visibility found in(31) of the sample which represent (11.65 %)of the sample ,and only (4) radiographs the mandibular canal was invisible that represent (1.5 % ) of the whole sample for the relation of the canal to the mental foramen found that (139) of the sample shows that the mandibular canal appear separated from the mental foramen that represent (52.25%) of the sample , and the continuous form found in(104)radiographs , that represent(39.09 % ) of the sample .the diffuse form of the mandibular canal found in (19)radiographs represent( 7.14 %) of the sample ,only in (4) radiographs the mandibular canal was not identified (1.5 %) of the sample. Conclusions: Examination of the mandibular canal is very important specially in implant therapy and other surgical operations carried in the posterior mandible; Recognition of these variations is important in preventing the intra and post Operative complications in certain dental procedures. Keywords:mandibular canal; mental foramen; panoramic radiography; dental implants. | ||
