Morphology and morphometry of mental foramen in dry human mandibles

Morphological and Morphometric Analysis of Mental Foramen in Dry Human Mandibles

Background: The position and its morphological variations of Mental Foramen are very important because it will be helpful to localize the important maxillofacial neurovascular bundle passing through. It is landmark to facilitate surgical, local anaesthetic and other invasive procedures for dental surgeons performing peri-apical surgery in the mental region of mandible. Aims & Objective: To Stud...

Osteometric Analysis of the Mandibular Foramen in Dry Human Mandibles

Study on Morphology and Morphometric of Mental Foramen in Adult Human Mandibles of Kathmandu Valley Population

s: The mental foramen (MF) is situated on the anterolateral aspect of the body of mandible. It gives path to mental nerve and vessels. The aim of this study is to providing data on morphology and morphometric of mental foramen helping surgeons to carry out various surgical procedures. A total of 45 human dry mandibles were examined in the Anatomy Department of Kantipur Dental College Teaching H...

Position and number of mental foramen in dry human mandibles: Comparison with respect to sides and sexes

Abstract Introduction Mental foramen of mandible has been found to vary in its position, number and distance from the surrounding bony landmarks. This variation occurs with populations as well as with factors like ethnicity, age, sex and sides. Knowledge of this variation is important for localisation of the mental nerve during surgeries in this region. This study was undertaken to document the...

Study of Position, Shape, and Size of Mental Foramen Utilizing Various Parameters in Dry Adult Human Mandibles from North India

Background. As the mental foramen (MF) is an important landmark to facilitate surgical, local anesthetic, and other invasive procedures, the present study was aimed to elucidate its morphological features and morphometric parameters with reference to surrounding landmarks. Material and Method. 105 dry adult human mandibles of unknown sex were observed for position, shape, and number of mental f...
