Summary
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is crucial for assessing lingual concavities in the mandible before dental implant placement. This evaluation helps prevent complications by defining bone morphology and guiding surgical approaches.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Lingual concavities in the posterior mandible pose a risk for perforation during dental implant placement.
- Accurate assessment of these anatomical variations is essential for surgical success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and synthesize existing literature on the assessment of lingual concavities using CBCT.
- To understand the prevalence, depth, and angulation of these concavities.
Main Methods:
- Systematic electronic search of full-text articles.
- Inclusion of studies focusing on lingual concavities evaluated with CBCT.
- Analysis of data regarding prevalence, depth, and angle.
Main Results:
- Included 5 articles published between 2011 and 2016.
- Evaluated 1713 concavities in 1232 patients.
- Prevalence ranged from 46.7% to 68%; mean depth was 2.4–5.4 mm; mean angle was 143–156.6 degrees.
Conclusions:
- Morphological patterns of lingual concavities are consistent.
- CBCT evaluation is necessary before implant placement to assess bone availability and morphology.
- Guided surgery is recommended for U-shaped concavities.

The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

01:12The Hyoid Bone
4.5K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
4.3K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
