The Mental Foramen: Part III. Size and position on panoramic radiographs
Journal of endodontics, 1992Co-Authors: John L. Phillips, R. Norman Weller, James C. KulildAbstract:Panoramic radiographs were made of 75 dry, adult human mandibles. The size and position of the Mental Foramen in relation to the second premolar was determined. The Mental Foramen on panographic radiographs was slightly larger than reported on periapical radiographs. The average position of the Foramen was mesial and below the radiographic apex of the tooth. Panoramic radiography may account for a distal shift of the Foramen and a 23% increase in size of the mandibles examined.

Position of the Mental Foramen in a Moroccan population: A radiographic study.
Imaging science in dentistry, 2013Co-Authors: Ahmed Chkoura, Wafaa El WadyAbstract:Purpose: This study was performed to determine the position of the Mental Foramen relative to the apices of the teeth based on panoramic radiographs in a Moroccan population. We also analyzed gender differences and the symmetry of location within individuals. Materials and Methods: Seven hundred ninety-four panoramic radiographs were evaluated with regard to the location and symmetry of the Mental foramina in male and female subjects. The results were analyzed using Pearson’s χ 2 and Fisher’s exact test. Results: Of the 794 panoramic radiographs, 377 met the inclusion criteria for at least one side. The Mental Foramen was located just below the apex of the second premolar in 62.7% of the patients and between the first and second premolars in 30%. It was symmetrically located in 79%. No statistically significant differences were found between males and females in the position and symmetry of the Mental Foramen. Conclusion: The most common position for the Mental Foramen in this sample was in line with the second premolar. (Imaging Sci Dent 2013; 43: 71-5)

Anatomical Variations and Biological Effects of Mental Foramen Position in Population of Saudi Arabia
Dentistry, 2016Co-Authors: Hassan H. Abed, Abdulaziz A. Bakhsh, Loai W. Hazzazi, Nouran A. Alzebiani, Fatma W Nazer, Ibrahim Yamany, Rayyan A Kayal, Dania F Bogari, Turki Y AlhazzaziAbstract:Background: Understanding the anatomical variations in the position of the Mental Foramen is significant for different dental procedures. This study identified the position of the Mental Foramen among a Saudi population in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: A total of 950 panoramic radiographs (PAN) were selected from a total of 1195 radiographs. The Mental Foramen location was determined by drawing imaginary lines parallel with the long access of the lower premolars and mesial root of the first molar on the same side. The Mental Foramen location was then classified into six classes (Class I-VI). Results: In the Saudi population, more than half of the Mental foramina were located between the lower premolars (Class III, 57.89%), followed by class IV (41.70%) of the Mental Foramen was located under the second premolar apex. None of the radiographs showed that the Mental Foramen was located in front of the first premolar (Class I). Conclusion: For successful and secure Mental nerve blocking, the anesthetic solution should be injected between the first and second premolars or under the lower 2nd premolar in the Saudi population. Additionally, caution should be taken when operating close to these areas to avoid Mental nerve injury.
