BackgroundTo prevent harm to the neurovascular bundle during clinical and surgical operations, it is crucial to understand the position and dimension of the mental foramen, as well as the prevalence and length of the anterior loop (AL).MethodsAn iCAT Vision (CT Dent, London, UK) was used to take a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan. Measurement of height, length of anterior loop, position and width of mental foramen was examined.ResultsAssessed prevalence of anterior loop and saw difference among genders, which was found to be more among males than females; anterior loop decreased as age advances. Mean anterior loop length of study subjects in different age group on right side was more than the left side, and the most common location of the mental foramen (61.87% in females and 61.36% in males) is located below the apex of the second premolar. The mean value of the distance from inferior border was 9.72mm in females and 10.78mm in males.ConclusionThe current study was done with all of these characteristics in mind to assess the effectiveness of CBCT in determining anterior looping of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) and the position and dimension of mental foramen. In more than half of the cases analyzed, an anterior loop was discovered.
