Imaging of accessory mental foramen before implant therapy
It is critical to determine the location and variation of mental foramen (MF) during the implant treatment. Multiple numbers of MF can be seen in the mandible, and they are called as accessory MF (AMF).

Examination of presence and location of the accessory mental foramen, and its implications on the mental nerve block [PDF]
Objectives: It is clinically essential to know the location of accessory mental foramen in the mental nerve anesthesia. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of accessory mental foramen and examining its morphometric properties. Methods: A total of 35 adult mandibles of unknown age, gender, and ethnicity were examined.

Anatomical characteristics and visibility of mental foramen and accessory mental foramen: Panoramic radiography vs. cone beam CT. [PDF]
The mental foramen (MF) is a small foramen located in the anterolateral region of the mandible through which the mental nerve and vessels emerge. The knowledge on the anatomic characteristics and variations of MF is very important in surgical procedures involving that area.

Accessory mental foramen: a rare anatomical finding. [PDF]
Accessory mental foramen (AMF) is a rare anatomical variation with a prevalence ranging from 1.4 to 10%. Even so, in order to avoid neurovascular complications, particular attention should be paid to the possible occurrence of one or more AMF during surgical procedures involving the mandible.

The assessment of accessory mental foramen in a selected polish population: a CBCT study. [PDF]
Accessory mental foramen (AMF) is a rare anatomical variation. When accessory mental foramen is present, the nerves and vessels that go through the mental foramen (MF) must follow alternative courses and special care must be taken during dental treatment planning.
