Abstract
Evaluation of the position of mandibular canal and foramen mentale have great significance and it is very important aid in different dental procedures, such as: surgical, dental implant, periodontal, endodontic as well
in diagnostic procedures. The main aim of this study
was to evaluate the detection of mandibular canal and
the mental foramen on classic and digital panoramic
radiographs among the population in Macedonia.
A total number of 300 panoramic radiographs were
evaluated. This investigation was including, the both
types of panoramic x-rays, digital or classical. Assessment of the presence of foramen mentale and its relation with the adjacent structures and the mandibular
canal was made by five independent examiners.
According to the data from this research, in near 60%
from the analyzed x-ray images, foramen mentale is
positioned between the roots of the first and second
lower premolars. Most commonly found position of
foramen mentale is between the vertical axis of the
second premolar and the line passing between the
first and second premolars in the lower jaw in 46.97%.
According to the data presented in our research, the
mandible canal in about half of cases (more precisely
47.61%) has a descending path through the mandible’s
body passing from the second lower molar to the foramen mentale.
Most commonly foramen mentale is localized between
the first and second lower premolars, while the canalis
mandibularis most often possesses a descending path
through the mandible’s body passing from the first
lower molar to the foramen mentale.
