Table 3 Comparison of average distance of dAnt and dInf between prognathism and retrognathism (mm)

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

	Mean ± SD	Minimum	Maximum	p value
dAnt
Prognathism	3.34 ± 1.59	0.51	7.12	< 0.001
Retrognathism	1.00 ± 0.97	0	2.89	< 0.001
dInf
Prognathism	6.81 ± 1.33	3.89	10.38	< 0.001
Retrognathism	5.56 ± 1.34	2.87	8.68	< 0.001

dPog distance from the pogonion to the Mcnamara plane, dAnt distance from the most anterior point of the inferior alveolar nerve from the MF_V. If there is no anterior curvature, dAnt is defined as “0”, dInf distance from the most inferior point of inferior alveolar nerve from MF_H
