: the mandibular foramen is an essential anatomic landmark in performing various dental and surgical procedures, including inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). However, its position may vary based on the individual morpho-functional features of the skull and face. This study aims to conduct a personalized assessment of the location of the mandibular foramen in various shapes of skulls, faces, and mandibles. : this anatomic morphometric cross-sectional study was performed using one hundred and six ( = 106) certified human cadaver heads of both sexes. The cranial index (CI) and Izard's facial index (FI) were calculated, the linear anatomic parameters of the skull and mandible were measured, the location of the mandibular foramen was identified, and the shapes of the skulls and mandibles were determined. Quantitative statistical data were obtained based on the location of the mandibular foramen, considering different shapes of skulls and faces. : there is a significant correlation between the location of the mandibular foramen, the high lengthy index (HLI) of the mandible, and the longitudinal latitude index (LLI) of the mandibular process. : personalized assessment of the mandibular foramen based on a comprehensive analysis of craniometric characteristics can contribute to preventing unwanted dental and surgical complications, such as inferior alveolar nerve damage.
下颌孔是进行各种牙科和外科手术（包括下牙槽神经阻滞术）时的一个重要解剖标志。然而，其位置可能因颅骨和面部的个体形态功能特征而异。本研究旨在对各种形状的颅骨、面部和下颌骨中的下颌孔位置进行个性化评估。：本解剖形态测量横断面研究使用了106个经认证的男女两性人类尸体头部。计算了颅指数（CI）和伊扎德面部指数（FI），测量了颅骨和下颌骨的线性解剖参数，确定了下颌孔的位置，并确定了颅骨和下颌骨的形状。基于下颌孔的位置，考虑不同形状的颅骨和面部，获得了定量统计数据。：下颌孔的位置、下颌骨的高长指数（HLI）和下颌突的纵向纬度指数（LLI）之间存在显著相关性。：基于对头测量特征的综合分析对下颌孔进行个性化评估有助于预防不必要的牙科和外科并发症，如下牙槽神经损伤。
