Twenty sides from ten dry mandibles derived from six females and four males were used for this study. The goal of this anatomical and radiological study was to investigate how CBCT imaging could predict the structure of the superior wall of the MC. Previous studies of the mandibular canal (MC) have raised questions about the structure of its superior wall that have not been answered.
