“…Similarly Langston and Tebog noted that the position of the antilingula varied from 4.7 mm posterior to and 4.7 mm anterior to the mandibular foramen [10]. Yates et al also found that the mandibular foramen is predominantly posterior and inferior to the antilingula [7]. The position of the lingula was observed posterior-inferior relative to the position of the antilingula by Aziz et al [11].…”

Background and Objectives The mandibular foramen and the lingula, because of their relation to the inferior alveolar nerve are of clinical significance for the orodental surgeons. Identification of the antilingula is important in mandibular ramus surgery in which the medial surface of the ramus is not visualized. Methods The present study includes adult dry 50 mandibles of unknown age and sex. The measurements were taken using vernier calipers. The points taken for measurements were most prominent point on antilingula, tip of lingula, most anterior, posterior and inferior points of mandibular foramen. The measurements were denoted as A, B, C and D which represent the anterior, posterior, superior and inferior distances. Results Antilingula was present on right side in 25 and on left side in 28 mandibles. There was a significant difference in distances in mean between the antilingula and mandibular foramen of both the sides (p \ 0.001). Retromolar foramen was observed in 6 mandibles. Mylohyoid bridging was seen in 3 mandibles. Conclusion The mandibular foramen was located posterosuperior to the antilingula on both the sides. There was no statistical significance in the distances between the lingula and the antilingula. Therefore antilingula can be used as an important surgical landmark for locating the mandibular foramen in mandibular ramus osteotomies.

“…Martone et al and Yates et al demonstrated that the antilingula was present in only 42 % of the specimens [6,7]. A study done by Monnazzi et al [8] identified the antilingula in 15 % of the specimens.…”

“…This uncertain status has already been mentioned in the literature [11,14,15,18]. It is perhaps for this reason that Balogh and Csiba [1] do not mention it in their description of the area perilingularis.…”

“…All these structures present subtle morphological variations, which have been extensively studied (for the lingula: 4-10; for the antilingula: [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]; for the mylohyoid groove, especially studied for its covering structure, the mylohyoid bridge: [19][20][21][22][23]. The study of the area perilingularis could offer numerous anthropological perspectives, such as: -Indicative artefacts of a rank of development or of functional mandibular characteristics.…”

-Introduction:The area perilingularis is an anatomo-functional complex that gathers the mandibular foramen, the lingula, the antilingula and the mylohyoid groove. The development of these structures and their ontogenetic coordination have been poorly studied. Material and methods: Development scorings have been made and studied for each of these structures and their links. Results and discussion: These scorings have shown an ontogenetic evolution towards accentuation and migration of the reliefs. Moreover, the development of the structures was statistically linked. The determinism of the area perilingularis, inherited or under the influence of the environment, is discussed. The anthropological perspectives are numerous, and old anthropological conceptions concerning the area perilingularis are questioned.Résumé -Introduction : L'area perilingularis est un complexe anatomo-fonctionnel regroupant le foramen mandibulaire, la lingula, l'antilingula et le sillon mylo-hyoïdien. Le développement de ces structures et leur coordination ontogénétique sont encore peu connues. Material and methods : Des scores de développement ont été établis pour chaque structure puis leur comportement et corrélation ont été étudiés. Results and discussion : Ces scores ont montré une évolution ontogénétique sous la forme d'une accentuation et d'une migration des reliefs. De plus, le développement des structures était statistiquement lié. Le déterminisme de l'area perilingularis, hérité ou sous la dépendance de l'environnement, est discuté. Les perspectives anthropologiques sont nombreuses, et de vieilles conceptions concernant l'area perilingularis sont remises en question.

“…Diversos autores han establecido el uso de antilíngula (AL) como una guía para la realización de osteotomía horizontal medial, punto anatómico que ha sido discutido con diversas conclusiones en su relación con la L y el NAI (Rajchel et al, 1986;Yates et al, 1976;Hogan & Ellis, 2006). Yi & Wong evaluaron la anatomía mandibular relacionada con la osteotomía sagital en población taiwanesa mediante TC 3D, concluyendo que la posición anatómica del nervio y las relaciones geométricas entre la AL, L y el NAI a nivel del foramen mandibular muestran que la utilización de AL como guía quirúrgica es fiable.…”

RESUMEN: La osteotomía sagital de la rama mandibular (SSRO) es una de las técnicas quirúrgicas más frecuentes para corregir las deformidades de la mandíbula. Con el fin de prevenir problemas anatómicos y quirúrgicos, los cirujanos requieren una mayor investigación sobre las estructuras anatómicas relacionadas con la SSRO. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar las posiciones de la antilingula (AL), la entrada al nervio alveolar inferior (NAI) en la mandíbula y otros puntos de referencia anatómicos en relación con la língula mandibular (L). Fueron estudiadas 70 hemimandíbulas secas. La AL y los demás puntos de referencia y, la posición correspondiente de la L se marcaron en la cara medial y lateral de la rama mandibular respectivamente. Fueron medidas las distancias de la AL, NAI y L en los planos anterior-posterior y superior-inferior con un caliper, y se estableció su relación geométrica. Los resultados mostraron que la AL era perceptible en el 100% de las caras laterales mandibulares. La mayoría de las ALs se encuentran anterior a la L, con una distancia media de 0,66±2,43mm y 0,92±2,56 mm y, 4,23±2,97 mm y 3,62 ± 3,14 mm superior a ella (lados derecho-izquierdo respectivamente) (ambos con un valor de p <0,001). Valores similares se observaron en relación con el NAI. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los lados derecho e izquierdo, para la mayoría de los parámetros. Los parámetros estudiados pueden asistir a los cirujanos maxilofaciales a determinar la proximidad anatómica del NAI, y reducir al mínimo el riesgo de dañar el nervio y vasos sanguíneos. No recomendamos el uso de la AL como única referencia anatómica cuando se realiza un procedimiento de SSRO.PALABRAS CLAVE: Osteotomía sagital de la rama; Mandíbula, Puntos de referencia anatómicos; Antilingula; língula; Nervio alveolar inferior.
