Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe a case of a right and left bifid mandibular canals identified using cone beam computer-ized tomography (CBCT) imaging techniques and to discuss how frequently this variation occurs.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature is presented and the study methods are discussed. A case of a double bifid mandibular canal discovered by cone beam CT is presented. They were identified during a bilateral pre-implant CBCT analyses.
Results: Mandibular canals can be detected on two dimensional radiographs. However, as confusion is possible when using these imaging modalities, it is only with tomographic imaging that some of these distinctive features can be identified. The case of left and right bifid mandibular canals revealed by CBCT is the only one reported in the literature to date using this means of identification.
Conclusions: The presence of bifid mandibular canals is very rare, yet it is important to recognize this anatomical variation in any surgical procedures involving the lower jaw and its presence can only be confirmed by volumetric imaging.
