Assessment of the mandibular incisive and mental canal in dentate and edentulous mandibles using cone-beam computed tomography.

In this study, the mean location of the MIC showed highly significant differences between the sexes, except at 0 mm in the edentulous group (p < 0.05), which could be supported by previous studies reporting that sex significantly affects the mean distance of the MIC and that the values in males were greater than those in females [ 14 , 16 , 33 ].
