Anatomical Variation in the Mandibular Foramen in Non-Atrophic and Atrophic Mandibles

Position of Mandibular Foramen and Incidence of Accessory Mandibular Foramen in Dry Mandibles

To determine the position of mandibular foramen (MF) from various parts of ramus of mandible and the incidence of accessory mandibular foramen (AMF) by studying on dry mandibles to assist dental surgeons to conduct dental procedures. Study was carried out on 100 dry mandibles of which 84 are dentulous and 16 are edentulous. The average distance of MF from the anterior boarder of mandibular ramu...

Osteometric Analysis of the Mandibular Foramen in Dry Human Mandibles

Position of the mandibular foramen in adult male Tanzania mandibles.

Failure of the inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia is common in various dental operations. Anatomical variations of the location of the inferior alveolar nerve as it enters the mandibular foramen have been implicated as a main cause of these anesthesia failures. The aim of this work was to determine the location of the mandibular foramen in relation to the occlusal plane at the level of ma...

An Anatomical Study of Mandibular and Accessory Mandibular Foramen in Dry Adult Human Mandibles of South Indian Origin

Objective: Mandibular foramen is an important anatomical landmark for the inferior alveolar nerve blocks, mandibular osteotomies and implant treatment. A thorough knowledge of the anatomy of the mandibular foramen is very essential hence this study aims to determine the position of the mandibular foramen and incidence of accessory mandibular foramen in south Indian population. Material and meth...

Anatomical and radiographical study of the retromolar canal and retromolar foramen in macerated mandibles.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to analyze the presence of the RMF in mandibles, considering gender and ethnic group. The RMC was also analyzed using periapical radiography. METHODS Eighty-six mandibles from adult individuals of both sexes, of white and black skin colours were analyzed. The presence of RMF (bilateral or unilateral) was observed, with the side and the number of foramina in e...
