CBCT Evaluation of Buccolingual Orientation of Inferior Alveolar Canal in Mandibular Posterior Region for Implant Planning

Table 2

Friedman test and paired samples t-test results showing the variation in the location of IAN canal and B, C, and L values between sides, respectively.

	Location of IAN canal	B, C, and L	value
	value
Second molar	0.56	B	0.99
		C	0.03
		L	0.48
First molar	0.88	B	0.81
		C	<0.001
		L	0.21
Second premolar	0.29	B	0.82
		C	0.21
		L	0.90

B: buccal bone width; C: canal thickness; L: lingual bone width of IAN. Statistically significant difference ().
