Bifid Mandibular Canals - A Case Report and Mini Review

Although the mandibular canal is considered as a single bilateral structure, there are several reports in the literature which gives evidence of a second or even a third accessory mandibular canal. Bifid mandibular canals may originate from the mandibular foramen independently or might bifurcate from a single canal during its course inside the mandible. This report describes a case of a bilateral Bifid mandibular canal suspected by a panoramic radiograph and confirmed by a CBCT prior to a dental treatment.
