Resumen
GUZMAN ZULUAGA, C.L.; GUZMAN ZULUAGA, I.C. y ARDILA MEDINA, C.M.. Bifid mandibular canal: Case series report. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2012, vol.28, n.2, pp.71-75. ISSN 2340-3152.
The location and configuration of the mandibular canal variations are relevant in different clinical procedures of the jaw. In this case series, a radiologist assessed the mandibular canal route identifying the presence and types of bifid canals. Four patients with type bifid mandibular retromolar canal and three subjects with type bifida anterior canal without convergence were observed. In one patient, bilateral bifid tooth foramina was found. Computed Tomography Cone Beam allows identification of preexisting conditions such as variations in the natural morphology of the mandibular canals, preventing effective and early neurological consequences arising from alveolar nerve injury.
