Abstract

The accessory mental foramen is an uncommon phenomenon with anatomical significance. Additional foramina pattern is a rare occurrence in which only one of the foramen is regarded as the mental foramen and the others as accessory mental foramen (AMF). The emerging patterns of the mental nerve have previously been observed. This case report describes an auxiliary mental foramen that was discovered in a face trauma patient with a mandibular right parasymphysis fracture.
