Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to morphologically investigate the types of position, variation, and asymmetry of the mental foramen. Methods: We examined 76 human adult dry mandibles bilaterally, the exact ages and sexes of which were unknown. Results: Position IV, which passed the second premolar teeth (39%) on the right side was the mostly detected position and position I was not observed in our study. Accessory foramens were noted in four mandibles (2.63%) on the left side. Asymmetric positions were dominantly observed in positions II and III on the left side and positions IV, V, and VI on the right side. Conclusions: Evaluation of the position types can serve as a guide for surgical procedures. Dental and implant surgeons should have knowledge regarding variations of foramen mentale and a possible presence of the accessory foramen.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmadaki amaç morfolojik olarak foramen mentalenin pozisyon tiplerini, varyasyonunu ve asimetrisini araştırmaktır.Yöntemler: Yaş ve cinsiyeti bilinmeyen 76 mandibula bilateral olarak incelendi.Bulgular: En çok görülen tipin sağ tarafta alt II. premolar diş hizasındaki pozisyon-IV olduğu (%39) saptandı ve alt I. premolar dişinanteriorunda bulunan pozisyon-I görülmedi. Dört mandibulada aksesuar foramen mentale sol tarafta tespit edildi (%2,63). Asimetrikpozisyonlar değerlendirildiğinde pozisyon-II ve III sol tarafta, pozisyon-IV, V, VI sağ tarafta üstünlük gösterdi.Sonuç: Foramen mentalenin pozisyon tiplerinin değerlendirilmesi cerrahi işlemler için yol gösterici olabilir. Ayrıca aksesuar foramenmentalenin varlığı diş ve implant cerrahisinde öncelikli olarak düşünülmelidir.
