Abstract
Seventy-five adult human mandibles were examined to determine the size, orientation, and position of the mental foramen. The average size of the foramen was found to be larger on the left side of the mandible and its usual direction of exit was in a posterior-superior direction. The most common location of the mental foramen was inferior to the crown of the second premolar and approximately 60% of the distance from the buccal cusp tip of that tooth to the inferior border of the mandible.
