Study Notes
Radiographic Anatomy of the Mandible
- The mental ridge appears radiographically as a radiopaque bony prominence.
- The mental ridge is situated on the lingual surface of the mandible, near the lower border.
Genial Tubercles
- The genial tubercles are characteristic for being paired and symmetrical.
- The genial tubercles are located on the lingual surface of the mandible, near the midline.
Lingual Foramen
- The anatomical landmark situated near the lingual foramen is the genial tubercles.
- The characteristic feature of the lingual foramen is that it is a circular radiolucency.
Radiographic Image
- The 2D radiographic image is a superimposition of the buccal and lingual views.
Mental Fossa
- The mental fossa is located on the lingual surface of the mandible, near the lower border.
