Sensory nerve conduction study of the mental nerve

Muscle & Nerve, 2000
We describe a technique for sensory nerve conduction study of the mental nerve. A monopolar recording needle is placed near the mandibular foramen using the same approach as that for routine inferior alveolar nerve block in dentistry, and a surface reference electrode is positioned over the ipsilateral mastoid process.

Mental Foramen and Mental Nerve: Changes with Age

Cells Tissues Organs, 1986
In a study of 525 dry mandibles and dissections in 50 cadavers, the mental foramen (MF) was found: single in 94.67% of the cases and multiple in 5.33%. Its shape was round in 34.48% with an average diameter of 1.68 mm and oval in 65.52% with an average long diameter of 2.37 mm. In 43.66% the MF was located in front of the apex of the root of the second

Accessory Branch of the Mental Nerve

Journal of Endodontics, 2000
This case report presents a surgical case in which an accessory branch of the mental nerve exited the mandible distal and slightly superior to the mental foramen. Careful manipulation of the surgical site allowed proper identification of the mental nerve, and the accessory branch and permanent nerve damage was avoided.

Mental Nerve Block

2019
Mental nerve neuralgia is a painful disorder in the distribution of the mental nerve. The first description of mental nerve neuropathy was given by Charles Bell in 1830, who reported the phenomenon in a patient with advanced breast cancer due to a bony metastasis in her left mandible [1].

Mental Nerve Entrapment

2016
Mental neuralgia causes chin pain and also causes “numb chin syndrome.” Although it is often triggered by dental or physical trauma, it may also be a harbinger of metastatic cancer. In this chapter we discuss the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental neuralgia.

Transposition of the mental nerve in orthognathic surgery

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1987
Transposition of the mental nerve in association with orthognathic surgery was performed 25 times in 16 patients. Indications for transposition generally were use of the premolar region for surgical correction of anterior open bite or dentoalveolar prognathism. In one case, reduction of the mandibular base was the surgical indication.

Innervation of the mandibular incisors by the mental nerve

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 1997
This study tested the hypothesis that some sensory innervation to the lower incisor teeth comes from reentry of the terminal branches of the mental nerve through the labial plate of the anterior mandible.Ten cadaveric heads (20 sides) were dissected and studied to determine whether the mental nerve crossed the midline or reentered the labial plate ...

Nerves, but not mentally.

The Journal of clinical psychiatry, 1982
This report attempts to delineate the nature of "Nerves" using data collected from 101 Social Security Disability petitioners from Eastern Kentucky. Statistical analysis of Cornell Medical Index items reveals a relatively unique constellation of symptoms for individuals claiming disability primarily due to "Nerves" rather than somatic or mental causes.

Anterior loop of the mental nerve, mental foramen and incisive nerve emergency: tridimensional assessment and surgical applications

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2016
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and length of the anterior loop (AL), the distance from this landmark to the alveolar crest and its relation with the shape of the foramen and emergency pattern in the Spanish population on helical computed tomography scan (helical CT scan) through tridimensional reconstructions.Helical CT scan ...
