ABSTRACT
The purpose of this investigation was to document the most common position of the mandibular foramen and to compare its position in three different age groups, gender and sides on panoramic radiographs. The knowledge regarding the location of mandibular foramen is essential for administering the inferior alveolar nerve block, peripheral neurectomy and for performing osteotomy cuts with low inferior alveolar nerve morbidity. Two hundred mandibular foramina were studied on panoramic radiographs of one hundred patients (51 female and 49 male) with a mean age of 20.15±10.7 years. The patients were grouped into three age groups (≤13, 14-25, >25 years). Various measurements for the position of mandibular foramen were performed in horizontal and vertical dimensions using different landmarks and reference points. The ratios of horizontal and vertical dimensions were compared within three different age groups, gender and side. The majority of mandibular foramina were in the ratio range of 0.31-0.40 in all the three age groups horizontally and vertically with a significant difference in patients within the age group of ≤ 13 years from the other two age groups. The study showed that the mandibular foramen was located in the middle third of the ramus and the location of the mandibular foramen maintained bilateral symmetry in all the cases. The study indicated that the location of the mandibular foramen is variable. However, the superior and posterior fifths are found to be the safer zones. So, the positional changes of mandibular foramen with age are imperative, as in children they may be occasionally found in inferior third and therefore preoperative knowledge of the exact position of the mandibular foramen may guide the surgeon to develop a safe and accurate surgical technique avoiding any violation of the neurovascular bundle
