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

Figure 7

The mandibular anthropometrics of the right side of mandibles among different ethnic groups on different geographic locations: comparative analysis with other reported values. AC: distance (in mm) from alveolar crest to upper margin of mental foramen, BD: distance (in mm) from lower border of mandible to lower margin of mental foramen, WY: distance (in mm) from symphysis menti to medial margin of mental foramen, XZ: distance (in mm) from posterior border of ramus of mandible to lateral margin of mental foramen, WX: length of mandibles, and WY/WX: relative position. Significant at p<0.05; significant at p<0.001.
