Gaining Surgical Access for Repositioning the Inferior Alveolar Neurovascular Bundle by Saif Yousif Abdullah Al-Siweedi, P. Nambiar, P. Shanmuhasuntharam, W. C. Ngeow

“…Apicobasal assessment of the canal reveals that it is curving downward towards the inferior mandibular border until 20 mm (D3) distal to the mental foramen where it then curves upwards, making an elliptic-arc curve. The mandibular canal also forms a buccolingually oriented elliptic arc in relation to the buccal cortex. …”
