The mental foramen, anatomical parameters through a radiographic approach to aid in dental implantology: A retrospective analysis in a sample of a Palestinian population

PURPOSE: This study aims at analyzing the mental foramen (MF) structure, dimension, position, and emergence profiles among a sample of a Palestinian population. METHODS: 212 mental foramina (106 patients) were analyzed on two panoramic views (CBCT reformatted (CRP) & conventional (CP)) and CBCT...

description PURPOSE: This study aims at analyzing the mental foramen (MF) structure, dimension, position, and emergence profiles among a sample of a Palestinian population. METHODS: 212 mental foramina (106 patients) were analyzed on two panoramic views (CBCT reformatted (CRP) & conventional (CP)) and CBCT coronal views. The visibility score, position, size, presence of loop & supplementary foramina, distances coronal and apical to the foramen, and the emergence profiles of the mental canals with associated course angles were all noted. RESULTS: No statistically significant relationship was found between the type of panoramic radiographic view used (i.e., CP & CRP) and the resultant visibility level and position of MF. The majority of the MF showed an intermediate visibility score on both CP & CRP. The highest percentage of MF's position was under the 2nd mandibular premolar. The emergence profile was shown to be, in most, superior (S) in 47.6% of the sample and posterosuperior (PS) in 28.3%. The MF mean height and width were 4.08 mm & 4.11 mm, respectively. The coronal and axial angles averages were 46.25° and 91.49°, respectively. The distance superior and inferior to the MF showed averages of 12.39 mm and 13.52 mm, respectively. 28.3% of the sample presented with a mental loop, with a mesial extension average of 2 mm. CONCLUSION: On both panoramic views (CBCT & conventional), the majority of the mental foramina displayed an intermediate visibility level, with no significant difference between the two techniques. The MF was found mostly under the second premolar. The majority of the examined mental canals had a superior emergence profile.
