Abstract
Mental foramen (MF) is the front opening of the mandibular canal on the body of mandible alongside and above the mental tubercle. Normally, MF is located below the interval between the two premolars.

Materials and methods: In this descriptive-analytical study anatomical location and geometry of the mental foramen in CBCT images were examined. CBCT images were provided for diagnostic purposes from radiology department of Ahvaz archives for investigation of morphology and anatomy and the position of the mental foramen by a maxillofacial radiologist. Results: In this study, according to statistics Shape of mental foramen with a greater percentage was oval in right side and round in the left side.
