What shape is the distal wedge incision on the mandible?

Parallel
Circular
V-shaped
U-shaped

The correct answer is: V-shaped

The distal wedge incision on the mandible is typically V-shaped. This specific shape allows for better access and visibility during surgical procedures, making it easier to reflect the mucoperiosteal flap and access the underlying bone. The V-shaped incision also helps to minimize trauma to surrounding tissues and aids in promoting optimal healing postoperatively.
