Abstract

The mental foramen is used by oral surgeons during procedures such as extractions, implant placements, osteotomies, nerve blocks, and other surgeries that might potentially harm the neurovascular bundle in the area. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the accuracy of the digitalized volumetric tomography (DVT) in detecting the brain foramen and in assessing its size, shape, and clarity in comparison to the orthopantomogram (OPG) (DVT). Materials and Method: Twenty-five people total took part in the research, with men and women represented equally. Expert three-dimensional (3D) software in DVT and Annotation software in OPG were used to compare and contrast the location, contour, size, and clarity of the cerebral foramen. Results: “The mental foramen was located in the center of the jaw, between the roots of the upper and lower molars and the super inferior cortex of the mandible. The mental foramen was found to be in the same place by both OPG and DVT. Most mental foramen were found to be oval, with the highest definition seen in DVT. DVT provided a more distinct picture of the anatomy, and measurements of the mental foramen were determined to be 0.51 0.06 cm, compared to 0.49 0.05 cm in OPG.
