Distance measurements of loop of the inferior alveolar nerve and the mandibular functional units

Measurement	Description
dAnt	Distance from the most anterior point of the inferior alveolar nerve to pMF_V (If there is no anterior curvature, dAnt is defined as “0”)
dInf	Distance from the most inferior point of the inferior alveolar nerve to pMF_H
dPog	Distance from the Pog to the pMcN
dRamus	Distance from the SN to the Go
dBody	Distance from the Go to the MF
dSymphysis	Distance from the MF point to the Pog
