Abstract :Objective: This study was designed to provide important clinical signs for tracking nerves in the mandible during regional anesthesia in Georgian goats. Materials and methods: The study was conducted on the mandible bones of ten adult Gurcu goats of either sex (five male and five female). The mandible bone samples of naturally died Gurcu goat were collected from Kafkas University veterinary faculty education, research and application farm and processed as per the standard maceration technique. Altogether, 16 measurements were taken in the mandible bones of Gurcu goats by using a digital caliper and the results were expressed as mean and standard deviation. Results: The obtained parameters from the present study can be useful for an extraoral and intraoral approach for nerve block of mental and mandibular nerve in the mandibular regions of Gurcu goat. According to results The mandibular length and height was 158,86 ± 10,37 mm, 89,38 ± 5,81 mm, in females and 198,93 ± 3,85 mm, 114,5 ± 7,29 mm, in males of Gurcu goats, respectively. The distance between the first inferior incisor tooth and mental foramen and to the first premolar tooth was in females 19,72±2,3, 19,26 ± 0,44 mm, and 29,41 ± 6,10, 21,83 ± 1,02 mm, in males, respectively. The present study revealed that all the obtained parameters related to regional anesthesia showed a significant statistical difference (p<0,01**) between the males and females of Gurcu goat. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the present study that the various applied parameters of the present study is thought to assist clinicians in the administration of regional anesthesia in the lower jaw (mandibular region) area of the Gurcu goat.
