Patients usually present with either aesthetic or functional concerns. Surgical landmark identification is crucial to a successful surgical procedure. Various diagnostic preoperative tools have been used to identify these landmarks, such as imaging studies or cadaveric dissections. The cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is currently the most common preoperative tool used.</p><p><strong>Aim: </strong>This study aims to identify whether the deepest part of the ascending ramus (coronoid notch) distance to the mandibular lingula can be used as a safe reference prior to performing medial horizontal osteotomies.</p><p><strong>Materials & methods: </strong>Data were extracted from a database of patients who underwent CBCT scanning for various reasons. A total of 313 CBCT scans were included in this study. Patients younger than 18 years, with a history of mandibular pathology, or whose scans were suboptimal were excluded.
