Statistical evaluation of the position of the mandibular foramen.
The position of the mandibular foramen and its importance to successful inferior alveolar anesthesia has been well documented. The current study attempts to use position of the narrowest AP width of the ramus and the gonial angle as the important parameters in locating MF, rather than using isolated measurements of the bony mandible proper.
