foramen mandibulae

Sažetak
Accurate knowledge about the morphology and topography of foramen mandibulae is of great practical importance in anaesthesia of inferior alveolar nerve. A certain number of skeletotopical relations may be used as valuable orientation points. Because of the controversies about these marking points it has been decided to perform measurements on a large sample of macerated mandibulae that are significant to location and shape of foramen mandibulae (FM) and lingula in relation to the surrounding orientation points. The measurements were taken in antero posterior and infra superior directions. Extreme heterogenity was noticed in the measurements of lingula. In the antero posterior plane the FM is located in the middle of the CT-PRR distance,e.i. in measurements in which the external oblique line was used as anterior point, FM was located at the juncture of two anterior thirds and the posterior third of ramus mandibulae. In infra superior direction the lowest FM point was closer to AM thant to IM, indicating a somewhat lower position of FM. The mean value of FM depth was 4.31 and the most commonly found shape of the foramen was that of the elongated type. The linglula was prominent, although unevenly, in 51% of study samples.
