	5	17	51.5	15	45.5
	6	3	9.1	4	12.1
AMF	5	1	3	1	3

MF: mental foramen, AMF: accessory mental foramen, F: frequency, and %: percentage. Position 1: situated anterior to the first premolar. Position 2: in line with the first premolar. Position 3: between the first and second premolar. Position 4: in line with second premolar. Position 5: between the second premolar and first molar. Position 6: in line with the first molar.
