Evaluation of the cortication ratio and visibility of mandibular canal and mandibular incisive canal in patients with mandibular cortical index type 1 on cone-beam computed tomography images by Roghieh Bardal, Ahad Alizadeh, Vahid Nouri, Mohammad Salehi

“…This study aimed to evaluate the MCV and CR in patients with mandibular cortical index 1 (MCI1). Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 132 mandibular cone-beam computed tomography images of patients with MCI1 were evaluated. 6-point rating MCV score and CR were determined for cross-sections of the MC in the following areas: incisive canal (INC), mental foramen and canal (MF), first premolar to the third molar (1PM, 2PM, 1M, 2M, and 3M), and the corresponding edentulous areas (E1PM-E3M). 1PM was overlapped with MF in most cases. …”
