The position of the mental foramen was studied in 58 adult Turkish skulls which were divided into two groups according to age. A previously published method was used to determine the position of the mental foramen. The most common position of the mental foramen lies in line with the longitudinal axis passing between the first and second premolars. This result was in accordance with classical textbooks. Another measurement was also performed on the mental foramen in both groups. The distance between the mental foramen and the mandibular symphysis (A) and the distance between the mental foramen and the inferior border of the mandible (B) were measured. There was a significant difference between the two groups in B, but not in A.
在58个成年土耳其颅骨中研究了颏孔的位置，这些颅骨根据年龄分为两组。采用先前发表的方法来确定颏孔的位置。颏孔最常见的位置与穿过第一和第二前磨牙之间的纵轴在一条直线上。该结果与经典教科书一致。还对两组的颏孔进行了另一项测量。测量了颏孔与下颌联合之间的距离（A）以及颏孔与下颌骨下缘之间的距离（B）。两组之间在B上存在显著差异，但在A上没有。
