“…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.…”

“…Martone et al [6] noted that the mean distance between the antilingula and the mandibular foramen was 4.8 mm and that the most frequent relationship was for the mandibular foramen to lie postero-inferior to the antilingula. 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].…”

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.

“…Situated at the centre of the medial aspect of the mandibular ramus, inferiorly and posteriorly to the lingula, the mandibular foramen shows no differences regarding shape, size and location when comparing its features on the left and right side of the mandible (Iwaki et al;Valente et al;Ennes & Medeiros, 2009;Martone et al, 1993).…”

SUMMARY:The mandibular foramen and its lingula is a major landmark when administering anesthetic or performing surgical procedures. The objective of this study was to determine whether the topological features of the mandibular foramen (MF) and lingula varied in mandibles from skulls of different cephalic indexes. The location of the mandibular foramen referred to the longitudinal borders of the mandibular ramus (MR), height of the foramen (Hf) referred to the occlusal line of the second molar, and the height of the lingula (Hl) were determined in a total of one hundred and five dry mandibles from skulls identified as dolicho-meso-and brachycephalic. On average MF in brachycephalic mandibles was closest to the anterior border of MR. Hf in brachy-, meso-and dolichocephalic mandibles were -0.22 mm, -4.04 mm and -4,01mm, respectively. The lingula in brachycephalic specimens was considerably shorter (0.78 mm) than in dolichocephalic ones (1.84 mm). Inferior alveolar nerve block should be carried out using shorter needles, inserting it 4mm above the occlusion level of the molar teeth. The ramus of brachicephalic mandibles were significantly less wide those of dolicho-and mesocephalic ones. If the height of the lingula is to be used as a reference to judge the level of the medial horizontal cut to carry out sagittal split ramus osteotomy, special attention should be given to the patient's cephalic index.

“…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.
