ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Mental foramen is a important landmark for giving anesthesia  and surgical operation of low jaw and teeth (dental surgery).

Aim: So this study done with a purpose to knowing exact position of mandibular foramen .

Materials and Methods: For this study  Fifty mandible bones (toothed / Non-toothed mandibles) belonging to Madhya-Pradesh state were studied. All mandibles are of adult person (of either sex – male/Female). In study we observe  Position of mental foramen in relation with body of mandible (distance from symphysis menti, from posterior border of ramus of mandible, from base of mandible & from alveolar margin ) and in relation with tooth (below molar or below premolar).

Result: We find out Mean Distance between mental foramen and base of mandible –  10.5 mm , Mean Distance of mental foramen from alveolar margin -15.25 mm. Mean distance between mental foramen and symphysis menti was –  30.00mm. Mean distance of mental foramen from posterior border of ramus -60.00mm . In study we also observe number of mental foramen on each side in a single mandible.

Key words:   Mandible, Mental foramen, Dental surgery.
