Unilateral Large Mylohyoid Bridging the Dry Human Mandible.

45 mandibles used in education in Bezmialem Vakıf, Hitit and Marmara University Medical Faculty Anatomy Departments were examined macroscopically. In some cases, the proximal part of the sulcus mylohyoideus may appear as a canal through a bony bridge (arcus mylohyoideus = mylohyoid bridge). Knowing the frequency of Mylohyoid Bridge variations will contribute to the literature studies on this subject and will guide oral surgery and dentistry practices in order to prevent possible complications in clinical applications.
