Morphological Analysis of Lingula of Mandible in Dry South Indian Skulls
نویسنده
چکیده
The margin of the mandibular foramen is irregular. Lingula is a tongue-like flap of bone that overlaps the mandibular foramen anteromedially .It is surmounted by a sharp spine, the lingual of the mandible which gives attachment to the spheno mandibular ligament; at its lower and back part is a notch from which the mylohyoid groove runs obliquely downward and forward, and lodges the mylohyoid vessels and nerve.it is located on the medial aspect of mandibular ramus and knowledge regarding its shape, size, and location is clinically significant in oral and maxillofacial surgeries.

Morphological Variations of Lingula in South Indian Mandibles
The ramus of mandible presents on its medial surface a little above its centre an irregular foramen called the mandibular foramen. This foramen is guarded by a thin sharp tongue shaped projection in its proximity called the lingula. This foramen transmits the inferior alveolar nerve and the corresponding artery to the mandibular canal (Grays) [1]. Here in , the nerve supplies the pulps of all t...
متن کاملEvaluation of the accuracy of panoramic radiograph in determining the location of the lingula
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of panoramic radiograph in locating the position of lingula as an index to estimate the location of mandibular foramen. Methods: The distance measurement in this study was carried out on 30 dry mandibles, composed of at least 2 first molars and one canine. Photography and panoramic radiography of the mandible was performed...

BACKGROUND Lingula is a tongue-like flap of bone that overlaps the mandibular foramen antero-medially and location is clinically significant in oral and maxillofacial surgeries. The aim of this study was to assess the shape and precise location of lingula using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 3-dimensional images provided by CBCT of 63 patients (28 f...

Background: The sutural bones and fontanelle of the skull display unique morphological characters. Sutural bones are also called supernumerary bones or ossicles or Wormian bones (WB). These are irregular and develop from the independent ossification centers present along the cranial sutures. They appear on periosteal and endosteal surfaces of the skull with variations in size, number, shape, an...
