Table 2 Distance measurements of loop of the inferior alveolar nerve and the mandibular functional units

From: Three-dimensional analysis of the anterior loop of the inferior alveolar nerve in relation to the growth pattern of the mandibular functional subunit

Measurement

Description

dAnt

Distance from the most anterior point of the inferior alveolar nerve to pMF_V

(If there is no anterior curvature, dAnt is defined as “0”)

dInf

Distance from the most inferior point of the inferior alveolar nerve to pMF_H

dPog

Distance from the Pog to the pMcN

dRamus

Distance from the SN to the Go

dBody

Distance from the Go to the MF

dSymphysis

Distance from the MF point to the Pog
