“…Arx et al (2014) described four cases of apical surgery in which an AMN was present. Kulkarni et al (2011) reported a case in which an AMN was found during implant placement in the buccal aspect of the alveolar bone. Three patients had no symptoms of paresthesia after surgery.…”

Since three-dimensional computed tomography was developed, many researchers have described accessory mental foramina. The anatomical and radiological findings have been discussed, but details of accessory mental nerves (AMNs) have only been researched in a small number of anatomical and clinical cases. For this article, we reviewed the literature relating to accessory mental foramina (AMFs) and nerves to clarify aspects important for clinical situations. The review showed that the distribution pattern of the AMN can differ according to the position of the accessory mental foramen, and the reported incidence of AMFs differs among observation methods. A review of clinical cases also revealed that injury to large AMF can result in paresthesia. This investigation did not reveal all aspects of AMNs and AMFs, but will be useful for diagnosis and treatment by many dentists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

“…Los hallazgos accidentales de FMA en procedimientos clínicos han sido documentados (Kulkarni et al;Hanratty, 2012 y Mamatha et al), obligando a modificar la planificación de la cirugía para evitar eventuales complicaciones por lesión de nervios. Por lo anterior, el apoyo con imagen 3D en la visualización de FMA, es una herramienta útil en el manejo de estas situaciones.…”

RESUMEN:El foramen mental es una estructura estable y constante en la arquitectura mandibular y en limitadas ocasiones se presentan con alteraciones de la forma o con la presencia de forámenes accesorios. Este artículo expone un caso clínico con la presencia de un foramen mental y dos forámenes accesorios en un sujeto con fractura de mandíbula diagnosticado a través de imagen 3D. El parámetro de la fractura fue post foramen lo que determina la conducta clínica para realizar la osteosíntesis con baja morbilidad al nervio mental. Se concluye la baja frecuencia de este hallazgo anatómico y se recomiendo el diagnóstico con apoyo de imagen 3D para estas intervenciones clínicas.

“…In a study which was done on 525 dry mandibles, Gerhenson et al, reported that 4.3% of the mandibles had double mental foramens, 0.7% had triple mental foramina and that one mandible had 4 mental foramina on one side [6]. Injuries to any of the nerves during surgical procedures in this area can cause anaesthesia or paraesthaesia [7].…”
