Objectives: It is clinically essential to know the location of accessory mental foramen in nerve anesthesia. The aim this study was determine frequency and examining its morphometric properties. Methods: A total 35 adult mandibles unknown age, gender, ethnicity were examined. presence mandible investigated bilaterally. In cases with foramen, localization, number, distance relative evaluated. Re...

Introduction: Studying the position of mental foramen and its morphological variations help to localize the mental nerve and thus prevent complications during surgical procedures. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in 40 dry adult human mandibles in the department of anatomy, Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College and Research Center. Parameters like incidence, position, direction, s...

Correct identification of the causes of dental anesthetic failure is essential in order to adopt the required measures for successful anesthesia. A review is made of the factors implicated in locoregional anesthesia failure, such as a bifid inferior alveolar nerve, retromolar foramen associated to accessory innervation, double or accessory mental foramen, the relation between the infiltration t...

BACKGROUND Accessory mental foramen (AMF) is a rare anatomical variation. When accessory mental foramen is present, the nerves and vessels that go through the mental foramen (MF) must follow alternative courses and special care must be taken during dental treatment planning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence and the location of AMF in a selected Polish population using co...

The mental foramen (MF) is an important anatomic landmark of the mandible, in which the somatic afferent sensory nerve of the mandibular nerve emerges as mental nerve and blood vessels. The identification and actual location of MF are important in order to avoid sensory dysfunction or paresthesia due to mental nerve injury. In the literature there are some rare reports on the anatomical variati...
