Positional Variation and Localization of the Mental Foramen
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The mental foramen (MF) is a small opening located on the anterolateral aspect of the body of the mandible. It represents the exit point of the mandibular canal through which the mental neurovascular bundle emerges [1]. The mental nerve is the terminal branch of the inferior alveolar nerve. The nerve is accompanied by the mental artery, a branch of the inferior alveolar artery. The mental nerves and vessels provide sensory innervation and blood supply to the chin, skin and mucous membrane of the lower lip, and labial gum from the midline to as far posterior as the second premolar tooth [2].
