Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the bucco-lingual and the top-bottom distance of Mental Foramen (MF) by using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). The CBCT images of 300 subjects (152 females and 148 males with ages ranging from 9 to 74 years) were included in this study. The distance from the buccal border to the lingual border and the top-bottom distance of MF were measured by using the crosssectional images in the 1 mm cross-sectional range. Mann-Whitney U Test was used to compare the mean values of MF diameter between genders and also in each gender for left and right sides. The mean MF diameter in both bucco-lingual and top-bottom was significantly greater in males than in females on both left and right sides. Also, while there was no significant difference in bucco-lingual diameter of MF between the right and left sides in both genders, the mean top-bottom diameter of MF was significantly different between right and left sides in males. The mean MF diameter in both bucco-lingual and top-bottom was found to be greater in males than in females on both sides.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı Mental Foramen (MF)'in bukko-lingual çapını ve üst-alt mesafesini Konik Işınlı Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (KIBT) kullanarak incelemektir. Çalışmaya 300 bireye ait (yaşları 9 ile 74 arasında değişen 152 kadın ve 148 erkek) KIBT görüntüleri dahil edildi. MF'nin bukkal sınırından lingual sınırına olan mesafe ve MF'nin üst-alt mesafesi 1 mm kesit aralığındaki çapraz kesit görüntüleri kullanılarak ölçüldü. Mann-Whitney U testi, MF'nin ortalama çapının cinsiyetler arasında ve ayrıca her bir cinsiyette sol ve sağ taraflar için karşılaştırılmasında kullanılmıştır. Hem bukko-lingual hem de üst-alt yönde ortalama MF çapı, erkeklerde hem sol hem de sağ tarafta kadınlardan anlamlı derecede daha yüksekti. Ayrıca, her iki cinsiyette de sağ ve sol taraflar arasında MF'nin bukko-lingual çapında anlamlı bir fark bulunmazken, MF'nin ortalama üst-alt çapı erkeklerde sağ ve sol taraflar arasında anlamlı derecede farklıydı. Bukko-lingual ve üst-alt yöndeki ortalama MF çapının erkeklerde her iki tarafta da kadınlardan daha fazla olduğu bulunmuştur.
