“…The ILA not only runs along the VB, but also runs horizontally and turned upward near the midline area. The labial arteries were not observed in some cases in this study (Crouzet et al, 1998), which indicates the need to be aware of such anatomical variations.…”

The aim of this study was to use ultrasonography to determine the locations and distributions of the superior labial artery (SLA) and the inferior labial artery (ILA) relative to the vermilion border (VB). Sixty healthy Korean volunteers (35 males, 25 females; age, 21-36 years) were investigated using ultrasonography. The participants had not received any noninvasive treatment or surgical procedure in the facial regions during the previous 6 months. Based on the VB, the overall thicknesses of the upper and lower lips were 9.4 AE 0.4 mm (mean AE SD) and 10.9 AE 0.7 mm, respectively. In most cases, the labial arteries were located in the wet mucosal layer on both the upper (35-57%) and lower lips (28-55%), respectively. In the upper lip, the SLA was in the intramuscular layer in 20-45% of cases, making it the second most common type. At some of the measuring points, the SLA was observed more often in the intramuscular layer than in the wet mucosal layer. In the lower lip, the ILA was also located in the dry mucosa (5-27%). The dry-wet mucosal junction is unclear in the lip area, and the ILA was commonly observed at the dry-wet mucosal junction. The arterial depth was 5.3 AE 0.3 mm in the upper lip and 4.2 AE 0.4 mm in the lower lip. The SLA and ILA are evenly distributed over all parts of the oral mucosa. Injection procedures for lip augmentation should therefore use very superficial approaches. Clin. Anat. 33:158-164, 2020.

“…In much of the literature on flap surgery, the data reported most often pertain to the external diameter of the superior labial artery, and its length and the distance from the mouth corner. [8][9][10][11] However, whereas flap surgery requires the acquisition of a pedicle with blood vessels, dermal filler injection requires a delicate procedure that avoids the blood vessels, to leave them undamaged. The findings of the present study provide information regarding the possible permutations of the courses and branches of the superior labial artery that could be approximated on the facial skin.…”

“…We defined the artery passing through the AMF as the AMA. The MA feeds the inferior labial region as well as the inferior labial artery, which is a branch of the facial artery (Crouzet et al, 1998;Norton, 2012). However, there are few reports describing the MA (Crouzet et al, 1998).…”

Accessory mental foramina and nerves: Application to periodontal, periapical, and implant surgery

et al. 2015

Recent studies investigating accessory mental foramina using developments in diagnostic imaging have primarily defined the morphology of the foramina; however, few studies have described the structures passing through them. Additional clinical knowledge of the foramina is therefore required for preoperative diagnosis prior to surgery, including implant, periodontal and periapical surgery. In this study, we investigated the accessory mental foramina and the associated nerves and arteries in donated cadaveric mandibles using anatomical and radiological observation methods. We examined 63 mandibles with overlying soft tissue by cone-beam computed tomography and noted the existence of the accessory mental foramina. Mandibles with accessory mental foramina were subsequently analyzed. Additionally, the neurovascular bundles passing through these foramina were dissected using anatomical methods.The incidence of accessory mental foramina was 14.3%. The larger foramina tended to be located anteriorly or superiorly and proximal to the mental foramen, while the smaller foramina tended to be located posterosuperiorly and distal to the mental foramen. The mental foramen ipsilateral to the accessory mental foramen was smaller than the one contralateral to it. The comparatively distant and large accessory mental foramen included an artery.This study elucidated the relationship between accessory mental foramina and the associated nerves and arteries. We believe that the results will contribute to the clinical dentistry field.
