Abstract:

Objectives: The location and configuration of the mandibular canal and mental foramen areimportant considerations in surgical proceduresinvolving the mandible, such as in dental implanttreatment, and in sagittal split ramus osteotomy.The purpose of the present investigation was toclarify the occurrence, location and variations of themental foramen using cone beam computerizedtomography images of the Eastern Anatolia Regionpeople.Materials and Methods: In this study theFirst Year University Faculty of Dentistry's 742patients were evaluated using computerizedtomography in order to plan dental implanttreatment, to determine impacted teeth positions, orto evaluate pathologic lesions. The mean distancesbetween the mental foramen and the inferior,superior, and lingual mandibular borders weremeasured using cone beam computerizedtomography. Also, the mental foramen's meanmeziodistal diameter and average apicocoronal diameter were evaluated.Results: The average age of the participants was39.1, with the ages ranging from 20 years old to 60years old. Mental foramen measurements wereevaluated on the mandibular cross-sectional imagesusing cone beam computerized tomographycomputer software. The average distance was 5.85mm between the mandibular inferior border and mental foramen; 11.24mm between the mandibularsuperior border and mental foramen and 3.44mm between the mandibular lingual border and mental foramen. The mental foramen's mesiodistaldiameter was measured to be 2. 95 mm and theapicocoronal diameter was 2.78 mm.the average interodistal diameter of foramen is 2.95 mm and the interodistal diameter is 2.78 mm.The result: the distance to the limbs of Mental foramen, mandibula inferior,superior and lingual, the mentalforamen differs according to the interodistal and apicocoronal diameter. The well-known position of Mentalforamen is a periodontal surgery and implant surgery that may occur in complications such as paralysis and hemorrhage. It has been determined that it is an effective diagnostic technique in the determination of computer tomography anatomical structures.This study is a study in which people living in the Eastern Anatolian region are determined the mental foramen positions and the bees are compared by gender and age. computerized tomography is aneffective diagnostic technique for localizing themental foramen. This is a study to determine theEastern Anatolian Region population's mentalforamen location.
