Abstract: Summary Purpose To investigate the position of the mental foramen based on its relation with the roots of the mandibular teeth and quantify the prevalence of anterior loop and satellite foramina in the mandible in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Methods The sample consisted of 400 CBCT scans of males (n = 190) and females (n = 210) from Moscow, Russia. Using the system proposed by Tebo and Telford (1950), the position of the mental foramen was classified into: I) mesial to the mandibular first premolar; II) at the apex of the mandibular first premolar; III) between the roots of the mandibular first and second premolars; IV) at the apex of the mandibular second premolar; V) between the roots of the mandibular second premolar and first molar; and VI) at the apex of the roots of the mandibular first molar. Additionally, the images were assessed to investigate the prevalence of the anterior loop of the mandibular canal and the presence of satellite foramina. Results Mental foramen position class III was the most prevalent (61%) followed by class IV (27%), II (8%), I, V and VI (together Conclusion The spatial position of the mental foramen and the morphological alterations of the mandibular canal and adjacent foramina must be known prior to surgical interventions in the mandible.

Evaluation of Mental Foramen with Cone Beam Computed Tomography: A Systematic Review of Literature.
TL;DR: A systematic review was carried out to evaluate the anatomy of mental foramen (size, position, symmetry, anterior loop, and accessory mental foramina) before implantation in humans.
Surgical-anatomical evaluation of mandibular premolars by CBCT among the Italian population.
TL;DR: Mandibular premolars show a truly surprising anatomical variability, especially for mandibular first premolars, which therefore requires adequate radiographic planning before providing any endodontic treatment, or especially endodentic retreatment or endodrontic surgery.
Mandibular canal vs. inferior alveolar canal: Evidence-based terminology analysis.

TL;DR: The mandibular canal, as it was formerly named in Terminologia Anatomica (TA), has also been called the inferior alveolar (nerve) canal in many scientific publications and how these terms have been understood in different regions and different areas of expertise is investigated.

TL;DR: The mental foramen is the output point of the canal of the same name containing a neurovascular bundle and is located on the outer surface of the mandible on both sides off the midline.
A cone-beam computed tomography study to assess anterior loop and other anatomic variations in mental foramen area in an Iranian population
TL;DR: The prevalence of anterior loop was relatively low in the present sample (14.7%) with a length range of 0.25 to 3.5 mm and the most prevalent location of mental foramen was between the first and second premolars.

Localization of important facial foramina encountered in maxillo-facial surgery.
TL;DR: Measurements taken on 79 adult dried human skulls to determine the position of the supraorbital, infraorbitals, and mental foramina may be of value to clinicians in localizing and safeguarding these nerves and providing effective nerve blocks.
