Anthropometrics Analysis of Mental Foramen and Accessory Mental Foramen in Zambian Adult Human Mandibles

Figure 5

Mandibular anthropometric measurements on Zambian adult human mandibles (n=33). AB: alveolar crest, lower border of mandible; AC: alveolar crest, upper margin of foramen; BD: lower border mandible, lower margin foramen; WY: symphysis menti, medial margin of foramen; XZ: posterior border ramus, lateral margin foramen; WX: length of mandibles; WY/WX: relative position. The error bars represent the standard deviation of measurements.

(b) Mandibular anthropometrics in relation to MF on the right side

(c) Mandibular anthropometrics in relation to AMF

(d) Relative position (WY/WX) of MF and AMF on mandibles
