Özet
This study was carried on 124 dry human mandibles. The number of two sides(right and left) was 248. The aim of this study was to determine the shape of the lingula and the relationship between mandibular foramen and antilingula. Both of the lingula shape and the antilingula placement affect the surgical approaches to the canal contents. The lingulae of the mandibles were classified into 4 types in this study: triangular, truncated, nodular and assimilated. Triangular lingula was seen in 39 mandibles bilaterally (78 sides) and in 16 unilaterally. Truncated lingula was present bilaterally in 29 mandibles and unilaterally in 17 mandibles. Nodular lingula was found in 23 mandibles bilaterally and in 11 mandibles unilaterally. The size of the nodul was variable size in two mandibles: one side was small and the other side was big. Assimilated lingula was determined bilaterally in 8 mandible and unilaterally in 6 mandible. The antilingula was present in 40 mandibulae bilaterally and in 8 mandibulae unilaterally. Total number of antilingulae was 88 for 248 sides (35.48%). The lingula of the mandible overlaps the mandibular foramen on the medial aspect of ramus. The foramen and the lingula, because of their relation to the alveolar nerve are the clinical significance for the orodental surgeon. The lingula is used for identifying the site for injection of local anaesthetics or for excision of the nerve for facial neuralgia. While performing mandibular osteotomy it is imperative that these vital structures are not injured.
