Implant placement in this region is usually done with measurements of radiographs, which give a two-dimensional assessment. Some cases of perineural injury with associated symptoms of neurosensory disturbances associated with osteotomy in the anterior mandible have been reported. These can be attributed to the presence of the mandibular incisive canal.[<xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref><xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]</p><p>The mandibular incisive canal is the medial extension of the mental nerve, which runs in the anterior region of the mandible and may open lingually close to the genial tubercle. The nerve can have varied course, with multi-morphic representation. The number of cases with surgical intervention in the inter-foraminal area has increased considerably as this region has good bone quality and quantity along with the perception that this is a safe zone. Failure to ascertain the exact position of the neurovascular bundle in this region may lead to complication like transient or long term paresthesia of the associated region.</p><p>The ability to detect the presence of the mandibular incisive canal from orthopantomography is limited.[<xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref><xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref><xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>] These images fail to show the presence of the incisive canal.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref><xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref><xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>] An accurate spatial orientation of the nerve anterior to the mental foramen is possible using cone beam computer tomography (CBCT).

This is very much into the perceived safety zone in the inter-foraminal region. The canal runs an approximately horizontal course parallel to the base of the mandible, from the origin (9.425 ± 0.7798 mm) to the apex (9.095 ± 0.6534 mm). Medio-laterally, the canal runs a more medial course, increasing its distance from the buccal cortex. This study gives an approximate map of the course of the incisive nerve.</p><p>The knowledge of the course of the incisive canal is as important as that of the Inferior alveolar nerve canal in the mandible, as it might lead to injury of the nerve and lead to postoperative myalgia and other nerve related problems.[<xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref><xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>]</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusion" id="sec1-4"><title>Conclusion</title><p>It should be acknowledged that more number of patients is opting for prosthodontic treatment that includes the use of implants. In recent years, the concept of “All on Four” and similar treatment modalities have gained in popularity. One of the most easy and relevant location for placing an implant is the anterior mandible. In the past, fewer complications were reported while placing implants in the anterior mandible as they were less in number. In recent times as this number is growing, the chances for complications are increasing. Hence, with an increase in use, knowledge of the anatomy of this particular region has to be refined.</p><p>With the mapping of the incisive nerve canal, it can be used as a roadmap to plan safely and
