The aim of this study was to correlate the location of the mental foramen and overlying teeth and apply these observations to posterior prosthetic teeth selection in a group of Egyptian edentulous patients.
Retrospective cone beam computed tomography data from 40 dentate and 40 edentulous patients scanned with radiopaque denture duplicates were compared in relation to mental foramen position.
The probability of locating the mental foramen opposite the first premolar was higher in dentate patients, while finding it opposite the first molar was higher in edentulous patients.
Selected posterior teeth size for the selected Egyptian edentulous patients might be slightly smaller than for dentate patients.
本研究的目的是关联颏孔的位置与覆盖其上的牙齿，并将这些观察结果应用于一组埃及无牙患者的后牙修复体选择。
对40名有牙患者和40名无牙患者的回顾性锥形束计算机断层扫描数据进行比较，这些患者均使用不透射线的义齿复制品进行扫描，比较内容为颏孔位置。
有牙患者中颏孔位于第一前磨牙相对位置的概率较高，而无牙患者中颏孔位于第一磨牙相对位置的概率较高。
为选定的埃及无牙患者选择的后牙尺寸可能比有牙患者略小。
