Objective: 3-dimensional radiographic evaluation of the intraforaminal area are crucial to prevent complications during surgical procedures. This study aimed retrospectively determine incidence different shapes foramen, and presence anterior loop with aid cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
 Materials Methods: retrospective was performed on 176 patients whose CBCT images indicated were used. The shape location mental foramen; distance between foramen (MF) mandibular incisive canal (MIC); length alveolar crest, basis, buccal, lingual sides; MIC evaluated based images.
 Results: observed in 42.2% patients. No significant sex dependence found terms MF localization status (P > 0.05). mean 4.8±1.4 mm right side 4.5±1.2 left side. all images. 6.3±3.8 6±3.4 side.
 Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware importance preoperative area. Therefore, it is beneficial use imaging techniques for planning.
