It may be helpful in explaining why some patients still experience pain even after successful local anesthesia during minor surgical procedures.
Aim- The aim of the present study is to assess the presence, number and location of nutrient canals in mandibular arch using CBCT.
Objective- To compare the presence of nutrient canals gender wise, age wise and site wise.
Material And Methods - CBCT scans (Both genders) will be assessed retrospectively for the presence of Nutrient Canals. The canals will be assessed in the entire mandibular arch and necessary analysis will be done.
