Morphological and Morphometric Study of the Mental Foramen on the M-CP-18 Jiachenjiang Point

The purpose of this work was to study the morphology and morphometry of the mental foramen (MF), as well as to evaluate its morphological configuration; in addition to taking measures of its localization using as a parameter the distances of the foramen to the inferior border of the mandible and at...
