Relevance of Position of Surgically Important Mental Foramen in Human Mandibles of Vindhya Region

Abstract

Objective: To contribute the database of location and mapping of mental foramina of human mandibles in Vindhya region of Madhya Pradesh. Design: Prospective Cross-sectional study Material & methods: Study was carried out on 52 dried mandibles from Department of anatomy S.S.Medical College Rewa. Three important measurements including distance of mental foramen from(MF) symphysis- menti, base and alveolar border were measured similarly evaluation of MF for its shape was also done bilaterally Results: Present study reports that mental foramen on an average found below PM-2 (second premolar) which probably different for natives of this region. Other parameters as MF-AB distance, MF-SM distance & MF-BM distances were found more or less similar as study of previous workers of Indian sub-continent. Conclusions: Our study reveals that situation of MF is in line of PM-2 is different from previous studies from other regions of India and abroad.
