Study of mandibular foramen from different bony landmarks in dry human mandibles
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Anatomy and Surgery of Head, Neck and Brain - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Mandibular foramen is an irregular foramen located just above the center of the medial surface of the ramus of the mandible Mandibular foramen is leading to mandibular canal through which inferior alveolar nerve and vessels will transmit and supply the teeth of lower jaw1 The inferior alveolar nerve block is the commonest local anesthetic technique which is used for anaesthetizing the lower jaw in various surgical dental operations on the mandible and mandibular teeth such as removal of impaction reductions of fractures and extraction of teeth The success of this technique highly depends on the proximity of the needle tip to the MF at the time of the anesthetic injection The aim of the study was to find exact location of mandibular foramen from different anatomical landmark In present study we took 60 dry human mandibles all the distances were measured from center of mandible to different landmark on both sides The mean of MFAB distance on right side is 156mm on left side is 153mm Mean of MFPB distance are 120mm 110mm on right side and left side respectively MFMB distance 234 mm and 229 mm are the mean of MFMN on right and left side respectively The mean of MFAG is 232mm on right side 242mm on left side There is great variation found in the position of MF in previous studies The present study helps in dental anaesthesia and also would help dental surgeons to avoid complicationsKeywords Mandibular foramen Landmark Inferior alveolar nerve distance
