Localization of Mental Foramen in Relation to Primary Molars A Cone Beam Computed Tomography Study

NCT05663190 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Mental foramen in children
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 11
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

. The aim of this study was to determine the location of mental foramen in relation to the lower primary molars using Cone Beam Computed Tomography. And develop simple guidelines for the injection of mental block anaesthesia for children.

Conditions

Mental Foramen; Cone Beam Computed Tomography

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• horizontal location of mental foramen

  the location of mental foramen horizontally in relations to the primary molars (using a a modification of Tebo and Telford classification )

  Day 1

• vertical location of mental foramen

  the location of mental foramen vertically in relation to the apices of the primary molars (above/at the same level/below) the apices

  Day 1

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• dimension and form of mental foramen

  Day 1

Other Outcomes (1)

• relation to age

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 4 Years - 10 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Cone beam computed tomography lower arch images for less than 10-year-old children

You may qualify if:

• Included cone beam computed tomography images should have either or both sides of the lower arch in the field of view, with the lower first and second primary molars with no or minimal root resorption.

You may not qualify if:

• Images with pathologies, fractures, malformations, or abnormal location of teeth that would affect the anatomy or location of mental foramen were excluded from the study.
