1- Mand. Incisive canal
![Page 4: Anatomical variations of Mental nerve](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55cf801bbb61eb4e208b4745/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Radiographic expression

Occurrence rate in literature
- occurrence 11 to 92% of cases pending the examination method used (so it is not uncommon!!)- Panoramic radiographs have the least accuracy (11%)

2- Ant. Loop of mental nerve
![Page 7: Anatomical variations of Mental nerve](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55cf801bbb61eb4e208b4745/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Radiographic expression

Occurrence rate in literature
Solar et al. detected an AL in 60% (22 of 37) of dissected cadaver mandibles, ranging in length from 0.5 to 5 mm (mean 1 mm).
Neiva et al. reported the AL was present 88% of 22 cadavers and its length ranged from 1 to 11 mm (mean 4.13 mm).
Rosenquist detected AL in 24% (15 of 58) of cadaveric mandibles with loop length variations from 0 to 1 mm.
Seems to be not uncommon as well!!!

3- Accessory mental foramen
![Page 10: Anatomical variations of Mental nerve](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55cf801bbb61eb4e208b4745/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Accessory mental nerve (Triple)
![Page 11: Anatomical variations of Mental nerve](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55cf801bbb61eb4e208b4745/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Occurrence rate in literature
Gershenson et al. (1986) who examined 525 dry mandibles reported that 4.3% mandibles had double mental foramina, and 0.7% mandibles had triple mental foramina. Finally they found one mandible that had four mental foramina on one side (0.1%)
Serman (1989) examined 408 dry human mandibles and found one extra foramen on one side in seven mandibles constituting 1.7%.
Sawyer et al. In 1998 reported 5.9% accessory mental foramen in four ethnic groups.
Katakami et el. (2008) examined 150 patients retrospectively with limited cone-beam computed tomography and depicted 16 double foramina (10.6%) and triple mental foramina on one side (0.6%)
- A double mental foramen appears in approximately 1% in Egyptians.- Which means that one of this will visit your clinic someday.

4- Absence of mental foramen
![Page 13: Anatomical variations of Mental nerve](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55cf801bbb61eb4e208b4745/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Occurrence rate in literature
- THIS IS ULTIMATELY RARE.

5- Position of mental foramen
![Page 15: Anatomical variations of Mental nerve](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062406/55cf801bbb61eb4e208b4745/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Occurrence rate in literature
- It varied from mesial to the 1st premolar apex to below the 1st molar apex.- It is very uncommon to pass mesially the apex of the canine.

RACE
- in Mongoloid population, the mental foramen was located in line with the longitudinal axis of the lower second premolar teeth.
- In Caucasians, the mental foramen was more medially located, between first and second premolar.
- in Black populations it was found to be more posterior, between second premolar and first molar.

Why should I know about these variations?

To avoid X-ray misdiagnosis..

Better implant planning..

To better expect and manage surgical complications..
