A panoramic radiographic study was carried out on 404 dentate Saudi Arabians, to locate positions of the mental foramen. Results show that 83.7% of the mental foramen locations occurred in the interdental space between the mandibular premolars and apical to the mandibular second premolar. 9.35% occurred posterior to the mandibular second premolar, and 6.95% occurred apical/anterior to the mandibular first premolar. In female Saudis, the most common location of the mental foramen was apical to the mandibular second premolar (45.9%), while the most common location in male Saudis was the interdental space between the mandibular premolars (45.5%). Asymmetry of the mental foramen location, which was observed in 15.6% of the cases, was observed more often in males (17.9%) than in females (12.3%).
对404名有牙的沙特阿拉伯人进行了全景X线片研究,以确定颏孔的位置。结果显示,83.7%的颏孔位置出现在下颌前磨牙之间的牙间隙且在下颌第二前磨牙根尖处。9.35%出现在下颌第二前磨牙后方,6.95%出现在下颌第一前磨牙根尖/前方。在沙特女性中,颏孔最常见的位置是在下颌第二前磨牙根尖处(45.9%),而在沙特男性中最常见的位置是下颌前磨牙之间的牙间隙(45.5%)。在15.6%的病例中观察到颏孔位置不对称,男性(17.9%)比女性(12.3%)更常出现这种情况。
