Illustration shows the locations of the measurements at every 10 mm interval starting from the distal aspect of mental foramen backwards (D1–D5). (D1) is the location of the mandibular canal at the distal aspect of mental foramen. (D2) is the location of the mandibular canal at 10 mm away from D1 distally. (D3) is the location of the mandibular canal at 10 mm away from D2 distally. (D4) is the location of the mandibular canal at 10 mm away from D3 distally. (D5) is the location of the mandibular canal at 10 mm away from D4 distally.
