The purpose of this study was to investigate the vertical positioning and intrabony branching patterns of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) in 39 edentulous human cadaveric mandibles by buccal microdissection. Dissected mandibles were classified on the basis of the height of the IAN within the body of the mandible and the branching pattern of the IAN. The IAN was located in the superior part of the body of the mandible in 30.7% (12/39) of cases, all of which showed a small posterior molar plexus of branches. In 69.2% (27/39) of cases the IAN was half-way or closer to the inferior border of the mandible. Of these latter cases, 41% demonstrated a small, posterior molar plexus of branches, 37% showed posterior and anterior plexuses, and 22% showed either no branches or a single trunk with a small number of single branches directed at the superior border of the mandible. These findings were rendered in 3D computer format for instructional purposes.
