Abstract
The aim of the work. The mandibular canal, if it is affect-
ed by different illnesses, often shows typical radiological
changes, made up of widespread hypodensity, an in-
crease in its diameter and disappearing walls. This study
aims to verify the reliability of such radiological signs in
the cases of later post-operative lesions of the mandiblu-
lar canal.
Materials and method. The study includes 16 patients, 9
males and 7 females, with an average age of 54 years,
who underwent an operation to rehabilitate the mandible
with a prosthetic implant for a total of 37 implants. All the
subjects underwent an Orthopantograph due to the ap-
pearance of painful radicular symptoms some time after
the operation.
