To compare Inter
mental foramen distance in both genders.
In the anterior aspect of the mandibular canal, injection can be made through the
mental foramen to desensitize mental aspect of the mandibular nerve.
Evaluation of the
mental foramen and accessory
mental foramen in Turkish patients using cone-beam computed tomography images reconstructed from a volumetric rendering program.
The asterisk (*) denotes the
mental foramen on the face.
An analysis of the variations in position of the
mental foramen. Anat Rec 1950; 107: 61-6.
In the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), multiplanar reconstruction demonstrated marked increase in the diameter of the mandibular canal throughout their length, on both sides, as well as the enlargement of
mental foramens. Right and left side mandibular canal's bone cortices were preserved but they were thinning.
Firstly, the
mental foramen was identified and marked red.
The
mental foramen is present in the dentary bone below the anterior portion of m1.
This revealed a left sided parotid mass extending posteriorly to the mandibular angle, anteriorly beyond the
mental foramen and postero-superiorly to the skull base.
Its larger terminal branch emerges from the
mental foramen as the mental nerve and innervates the skin of the chin and the lower lip, while the smaller incisive branch supplies the canine and incisor teeth.
Some investigators support intervention surveys (Blanas et al, 2004): special needle electrode is pricked below zygoma against lower jaw temporal joint 4-4.5 cm deep by foramen ovale; the other electrode is put by
mental foramen; then the time of stimulus spread is registered.
