Lingual foramen in Indian mandibles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ennis demonstrated a foramen located superior to the genial tubercles in1937, while Novitsky reported a foramen inferior to the genial tubercles in 1938. Suzuki & Sakai in 1957 mentioned that the bony canals of these foramina coursed perpendicular to the inner surface of mandible1. Midline foramina and lateral foramina were described .Terminology of foramina was differently used by various authors during various periods, some referred it to as lingual foramina, some described it as a central pit, whereas some of them described as unnamed foramina.

OBJECTIVES The interforminal region, between the mandibular foramen, is known as a relatively safe area that is free of anatomic structures, such as inferior alveolar nerve, submandibular fossa, and lingual side of the mandible is occasionally neglected for its low clinical importance. Even in the case of a severely constricted alveolus, perforation of the lingual cortical bone had been intende...

The purpose of the present study was to determine the incidence, size, location, course, and content of the foramina and bony canals located on the lingual side of the mandibular midline. Fifty dry human mandibles were morphometrically analyzed by measuring the distances of these midline foramina from the mandibular base and the dimensions of these foramina and their bony canals. In addition, m...

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.

The mandibular foramen is a landmark for procedures like inferior alveolar nerve block, mandibular implant treatment, and mandibular osteotomies. The present study was aimed to identify the precise location of the mandibular foramen and the incidence of accessory mandibular foramen in dry adult mandibles of South Indian population. The distance of mandibular foramen from the anterior border of ...
متن کاملMorphometric Analysis of Mandibular Foramen and Incidence of Accessory Mandibular Foramina in Adult Human Mandibles of an Indian Population
The mandibular foramen is an important anatomical land mark. For procedures like inferior alveolar nerve block, implant treatment and mandibular osteotomies, a thorough knowledge of the location of the mandibular foramen (MF) and accessory mandibular foramina (AMFs) is a prerequisite. There are few references in the literature regarding the exact anatomical location of the mandibular foramen. T...
