Objective: The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the relationship of dental implants made in the
mandible with the lingual foramen by typing according to the safety margin.
Material method: In our study, images taken with a Planmeca 3D Mid (ProMax, Helsinki, Finland) cone-beam
computed tomography device between 2017-2021 were used. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to examine the
suitability of the available data for normal distribution. Relationships between categorical variables were calculated
with the 'Chi-square test'.
Results: Cone beam computed tomography images of 450 implants in the mandible were evaluated in multiplanar
planes in a total of 250 patients, 110 (44%) men and 140 (56%) women. According to the evaluation of the implants
with the lingual foramen, type 1; 0 (0.0%), type 2; 3 (0.7%), type 3; It was determined as 30 (6.7%).
Conclusion: No relationship was observed with the lingual foramen in 92.7% of the implants. There was no
statistically significant difference between the lingual foramen and typing according to gender.
