2006年8月1日 · Beginning in 1976, many descriptions of ramus osteotomies refer to the “antilingula” and recommend it as a guide for making bone cuts safely without injuring the inferior alveolar nerve. However, research studies that have been performed reveal no evidence that the “antilingula” has any relationship to the entrance of the inferior alveolar nerve.

2014年7月15日 · The antilingula is a bony tubercle or prominence on the lateral surface of the ramus of the mandible. Identification of the antilingula is important in mandibular ramus surgery in which the medial surface of the ramus is not visualized .

2021年4月20日 · The term “antilingula” was introduced in the study by Levine and Topazian and was used a reference point for inverted-L osteotomy; according to Levine and Topazia, the antilingula is formed by the inferior alveolar nerve entering the mandibular ramus, which causes a protuberance on the outer surface of the bone. However, other researchers ...

2024年7月24日 · The antilingula was present in 40 mandibulae bilaterally and in 8 mandibulae unilaterally. Total number of antilingulae was 88 for 248 sides (35.48%). The lingula of the mandible overlaps the ...

The lingula is a tongue-shaped bony projection superior to the mandibular foramen, and the antilingula is at the outer surface of the mandibular ramus, opposite to the lingula, and typically refers to a bony prominence [2].

Beginning in 1976, many descriptions of ramus osteotomies refer to the "antilingula" and recommend it as a guide for making bone cuts safely without injuring the inferior alveolar nerve. However, research studies that have been performed reveal no evidence that the "antilingula" has any relationship to the entrance of the inferior alveolar nerve.

2024年4月27日 · The antilingula located on the lateral surface of the mandibular ramus has been served as a surgical landmark for the mandibular foramen on the medial surface for decades. However, whether the antilingula truly represents the lingula which is the bony prominence overlapping the mandibular foramen, or the foramen itself, is still unclear.

2024年4月27日 · Results: The antilingula could be identified in 92.48% of the mandibles with 86.67 - 90.00% accuracy and 86.67% reliability. There was no significant difference in the presence of the antilingula on left and right sides (p = 0.801).

The purpose of the present study was to investigate and determine the anatomical relationship between the antilingula, lingula, and mandibular foramen using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: CBCT images of 90 participants (180 mandibular ramus) were collected. The locations of and distances between the antilingula, lingual, and ...

1976年6月1日 · The antilingula is a highly variable anatomic landmark and in most instances is situated considerably anterior and superior to the inferior dental foramen. In the majority of cases a cut made between 5 and 10 mm. distal to the antilingula is within a statistically safe area to avoid encroaching upon the inferior alveolar foramen.
