The study found differences in the configuration and dimensions of the anterior loop of the inferior alveolar nerve (ALIAN) between patients with and without mandibular asymmetry. Surgeons should take this into consideration during surgery for patients with mandibular asymmetry.
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in configuration and dimensions of the anterior loop of the inferior alveolar nerve (ALIAN) in patients with and without mandibular asymmetry.MethodPreoperative computed tomography images of patients who had undergone orthognathic surgery from January 2016 to December 2018 at a single institution were analyzed. Subjects were classified into two groups as Asymmetry group and Symmetry group. The distance from the most anterior and most inferior points of the ALIAN (IANant and IANinf) to the vertical and horizontal reference planes were measured (dAnt and dInf). The distance from IANant and IANinf to the mental foramen were also calculated (dAnt_MF and dInf_MF). The length of the mandibular body and symphysis area were measured. All measurements were analyzed using 3D analysis software.ResultsThere were 57 total eligible subjects. In the Asymmetry group, dAnt and dAnt_MF on the non-deviated side were significantly longer than the deviated side (p<0.001). dInf_MF on the non-deviated side was also significantly longer than the deviated side (p=0.001). Mandibular body length was significantly longer on the non-deviated side (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in length in the symphysis area (p=0.623). In the Symmetry group, there was no difference between the left and right sides for all variables.ConclusionIn asymmetric patients, there is a difference tendency in the ALIAN between the deviated and non-deviated sides. In patients with mandibular asymmetry, this should be considered during surgery in the anterior mandible.
