Definition[Bearbeiten]

The mandibular foramen is a bony opening on the inside of the ascending branch of the mandible through which the inferior alveolar nerve and the inferior alveolar artery enter the alveolar canal (canalis mandibulae).

Anatomy[Bearbeiten]

Rostral to the foramen is a bony ridge that has a sharp bony scale, the lingula mandibulae. It serves as the attachment of the sphenomandibular ligament.
