Figure 2

Schematic representation of the anterior-posterior position of the mental foramen in relation to the lower teeth (I1, central incisor; I2, lateral incisor; C, canine; PM1, first premolar; PM2, second premolar; M1, first molar). Position (1) between the C and PM1, (2) in line with the long axis of the PM1, (3) between the long axes of the PM1 and PM2, (4) in line with the long axis of the PM2, (5) between the long axes of the PM2 and M1 and, (6) in line with the long axis of the mesial root of the first lower molar.
