Comparison of methods for detecting mandibular lingula and can antilingula be used in lingula mandibula detection?
The position of the AL can serve as a guide in determining the osteotomy line during inferior vertical ramus osteotomy (IVRO). However, relying solely on AL as a reference point may increase the risk of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury. Preoperative tomographic evaluations to determine the relationships among LM, MF, and AL can provide a safer approach in surgical planning, reduce complications, and help protect neurovascular structures.
