Abstract

A previous cross-sectional investigation showed that the mandibular foramen location depends on the age and the vertical facial pattern of growing individuals. The aim of the present longitudinal study was to explain how these factors influence the distance between the foramen and the occlusal plane. It is known that a certain distance is necessary for a successful inferior alveolar nerve block in clinical dentistry.
