PALMA, Luiz Felipe; CAVALLI, Marcelo Arthur; LOMBARD, Leonardo Augusto e KFOURI, Flávio de Ávila. Evaluation and clinical correlation of foramina on the inner side of the anterior region of dry human mandibles. Rev. Bras. Odontol. [online]. 2014, vol.71, n.2, pp. 188-193. ISSN 1984-3747.
This article evaluates incidence and localization of foramina on the inner side of the anterior region of dry mandibles, correlating the findings with the dentistry practice. 320 mandibles have been analyzed and grouped according to total absence of teeth in this region. We have observed the presence of foramina in mandibular symphysis and the skeletopie with genial spines. Foramina out mandibular midline have also been evaluated. All samples have shown at least one foramen. On symphysis region, foramina have always been present and usually disposed in pairs. Out midline, the prevalence of foramina has been heterogeneous between the groups, it showing a lesser mean value in edentulous mandibles. These foramina are a consistent finding and should never be underestimated by professionals.
