Indicate the exact location of the inferior alveolar nerve located in the mandibular canal for diagnostic purposes and surgery planning.
Click Nerve on the Diagnose tab.
Click in the 3D viewer to select the mandible side where you will annotate the mandibular nerve.
Click the mental foramen on the buccal side of the mandible to indicate where the nerve annotation should start.
Click the mandibular foramen on the lingual side of the mandible to indicate where the nerve annotation should end.
Click the nerve reslice to add construction points for the nerve. With the Offset slider, adjust the position of the reslice to a more buccal or lingual position in order to get a better view on the nerve canal. Alternatively, use the mouse scroll wheel to change the offset.
When finished, click Next.
Check whether the mandibular nerve is correctly annotated. If not, click Back and restart the nerve indication by clicking on Reindicate mandibular nerve.
If it is correctly annotated, click Finish.
The mandibular nerve is added to the smart panel.
Repeat this procedure to annotate the mandibular nerve on the other mandible side.
