A Comprehensive Analysis of the Radiographic Characteristics and Bilateral Symmetry of the Mental Foramen
Objectives
There is currently a scarcity of data on the frequency and bilateral symmetry of the position and other characteristics of the mental foramen (MF) and accessory mental foramina in Yemen. The objective of this study was to analyze the position and other characteristics, as well as the symmetry of the MF, in a sample of the Yemeni population.
Materials and Methods
A retrospective analysis was conducted on a sample of 500 digital panoramic radiographs (1000 sides). The study examined various characteristics of the MF, including horizontal and vertical positions, shapes, appearances, and the presence of accessory mental foramina. Additionally, the study explored potential associations between these characteristics and variables such as the subject's gender, sides, and symmetry. Data analysis was performed using SPSS, and statistical significance was evaluated using chi-square tests; the p value was set at 0.05.
Results
The horizontal position of the MF was most frequently observed between the first and second lower premolars (63.2%). The vertical position of the MF was predominantly below the apices of the lower premolars (66.2%). The majority of MFs had a round shape (46.3%). In 72% and 75.6% of cases, there was a continuous and descending relationship between the MF and the mandibular canal, respectively. Accessory mental foramina was present in 3.8% of cases. Gender differences were significant for the shape of the MF and the pattern of the canal on the right side. The symmetry rates for various features included horizontal positions (87.4%), vertical positions (82.6%), and shapes (80.4%).
Conclusion
The MF is most commonly situated horizontally between the lower premolars and vertically below the apices of these teeth. The majority of MFs showed a round shape and a continuous and descending relationship with the mandibular canal. In most instances, characteristics of the MF were symmetrical on both sides.
期刊介绍：
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research aims to provide open access peer-reviewed publications of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work within all disciplines and fields of oral medicine and dentistry. The scope of Clinical and Experimental Dental Research comprises original research material on the anatomy, physiology and pathology of oro-facial, oro-pharyngeal and maxillofacial tissues, and functions and dysfunctions within the stomatognathic system, and the epidemiology, aetiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of diseases and conditions that have an effect on the homeostasis of the mouth, jaws, and closely associated structures, as well as the healing and regeneration and the clinical aspects of replacement of hard and soft tissues with biomaterials, and the rehabilitation of stomatognathic functions. Studies that bring new knowledge on how to advance health on the individual or public health levels, including interactions between oral and general health and ill-health are welcome.
