Abstract
ABSTRACT Mental foramen is a key factor in many of the surgical procedures. While carrying out surgical procedures in premolar region, the knowledge of anatomy of mental nerve and its foramen is of utmost importance to avoid intraoperative neurovascular damage and to avoid postoperative neurosensory disturbances. The variations of mental foramen with respect to position, size, and number are very well documented. However, in very rare cases, length of the premolar roots may be abnormally long or abnormally positioned, which can impinge on the mental nerve or may enter mandibular canal or mental foramen. We present one such rare case where second premolar root was impinging on the mental nerve and producing symptoms. Extraction of second premolar was done and patient became asymptomatic postoperatively. How to cite this article Khandelwal P, Dubey S, Hajira N. Abnormal Anatomical Location of Root of Second Premolar in Mental Foramen: A Very Rare Case. Int J Experiment Dent Sci 2016;5(1):76-77.
