Evaluation of the position of lingula mandible, mental foramen and lingual foramen of individuals in the 7-17 age groups via Cone-Beam Computed Tomography

Objective: The identification of landmarks in mandible is an important stage before dental procedures ın pediatric patients. purpose this study was to determine the location lingula mandible, mental foramen (MF) and lingual (LF) a paediatric population. 
 Methods: distance anterior, posterior, superior, inferior borders distal edge alveolar socket 1st molar tooth were measured. MF LF top crest basis mandibulae determined. horizontal evaluated. Results: between sigmoid notch, border ramus, anterior ramus posterior 18.63±4.52 mm, 24.81 ± 5.19 mm 14.67±2.39 15.14 3.06 respectively. mostly located long axes first second premolar teeth. closer mandibulae. Conclusion: It necessary anatomical children prior surgical operations prevent possible neurovascular complications.
