dc.description The study evaluated the spatial position of the mental foramen (MF) using 300 cone-beam computed tomography. The spatial position was analyzed with the horizontal location and relative location (distance between apical foramen and MF). The horizontal location was assessed through three positions (positions 1, 2, and 3). The relative location was determined with the x, y, and x coordinates of the root apex of mandibular premolars and the MF. Student's t-test and chi-square were performed. The most common horizontal location (52%) was position 2, which means between the premolars (p < 0.05). The relative location of the MF to the root apex of the second premolar was closer than the first premolar (p < 0.05). The distance between the root tip of the second premolar and the MF was 5.27 mm, with a minimum value of 1.87 mm. Clinicians should be aware of the possible neural results to the mental nerve of an endodontic infection and the extrusion of irrigation solutions.
