Observations were made on 299 dry human mandibles and 21 autopsy heads. Foramina were observed in the inner surface of the alveolar part in 32% of the mandibles investigated. The diameter of the foramina varied between 0.4 mm and 1.6 mm. In most instances foramina were present between the lower medial and lateral incisors but in some cases they were also observed in the midline or between the lower lateral incisors and canines. Histological studies confirmed the presence of a neurovascular bundle in the accessory foramina. This bundle was formed by branches of the mylohyoid nerve, sublingual artery and accompanying veins.
Unnamed foramina are known to be present in the mandible. The present research paper reports the presence of an accessory foramen on the medial surface of the mandible, highlighting its anatomico-radiological details. Accessory foramina in the mandible have been known to transmit branches of nerves supplying the roots of the teeth. Nerve block techniques by local anaesthetics might fail if any of these nerves or their branches pass through these accessory foramina and thus escape the nerve block. Dental surgeons performing extractions should be aware of accessory foramina on the mandible and thus plan anaesthesia at an appropriate anatomical site. The presence of such foramina might also be an alternate route for tumour spread following radiation therapy. Precise knowledge and awareness of such accessory mandibular foramina would therefore be important for dental surgeons performing nerve block and also for oncologists in planning radiation therapy.
Variations of the inferior alveolar artery are seemingly quite rare, especially with regard to its origin from the maxillary artery. We present an unusual case of an inferior alveolar artery that originated from the external carotid artery. To the best of our knowledge, our case is one of only two reports of the inferior alveolar artery arising from the external carotid artery. The clinician who deals with the mandibular region should be aware of such a variation in the arterial architecture.
The aim of this paper is to summarise the knowledge about the anatomy, embryology and anthropology of the mandible and the mandibular foramen and also to highlight the most important clinical implications of the current studies regarding anaesthesia performed in the region of the mandible. An electronic journal search was undertaken to identify all the relevant studies published in English. The search included MEDLINE and EMBASE databases and years from 1950 to 2012. The subject search used a combination of controlled vocabulary and free text based on the search strategy for MEDLINE using key words: ‘mandible’, ‘mandibular’, ‘foramen’, ‘anatomy’, ‘embryology’, ‘anthropology’, and ‘mental’. The reference lists of all the relevant studies and existing reviews were screened for additional relevant publications. Basing on relevant manuscripts, this short review about the anatomy, embryology and anthropology of the mandible and the mandibular foramen was written. (Folia Morphol 2013; 71, 4: 285–292)
Bones can be a very good marker of environmental contamination by fluoride. Bones in a living organism have a different composition than in a dead one. As a result of adsorption from soil, bones from archeological excavations usually have more fluoride than those in a living body, and a significant portion of the fluorides they contain are acquired after death. This paper presents the results of a studies on fluoride content of sheep mandibles from archeological excavation sites in Szczecin. An attempt was undertaken to define how the chronological age of the bones and the time they had been lying in soil affected the bones. The material consisted of sheep mandibles from several excavations sites: Szczecin Mścięcino, Szczecin Rynek Warzywny, and Szczecin Zamek Książąt Pomorskich (Szczecin Castle of Pomeranian Dukes). Cultural layers in these excavations were mostly formed from humus and humus with sand and clay. The fluoride content was determined by an ion-selective electrode with the pH/mV Orion 920A. Fluoride content was determined in 270 mandibles, which were classified into sheep age categories and according to the archeological age of the bones. The individual and archeological age of the sheep bones was determined by archeologists during the initial tests of the bones. A comparative evaluation of the significance of differences in the average fluoride content in the bones was performed by means of a single factor analysis of the orthogonal variance. The least significant differences were estimated by Tukey’s test. The results show that the fluoride content depends on the individual age of animals and the chronological age of bones. The fluoride content of the sheep mandibles increased along with the individual age of the animals. Moreover, chronologically younger bones contained significantly less fluoride than older ones. In the sheep mandibles which lay longer in soil, the fluoride content tended to increase with the chronological age, while in chronologically youngest bones the tendency was reverse.
Sexual dimorphism in the skull of Spanish ibex Capra pyrenaica Schinz, 1838 is analyzed by means of univariate and multivariate techniques in one of the most representative populations of the species, located in the Sierra de Gredos, central Spain. Thirty eight measurements were used for the analysis: 30 of the skull and mandible, and 8 of the horn. Eighty three skulls (40 males and 43 females) of individuals older than 4 years were used. In 36 out of the 38 variables males were significantly larger than females. Horn characters showed the highest variability and also the most significant differences between sexes. Values of Mahalanobis distance between males and females were high (D2 = 323.1). When Factor Analysis is performed with the whole set of 38 variables, 7 Principal Factors were extracted, scores of Principal Factor 2 (related with horn variables) and Principal Factor 3 {related to molar toothrow length) showing significant differences between sexes. In this analysis, horn characters (Principal Factor 2) accumulate the sexual dimorphism of other skull traits. However, if the same analysis is performed without horn characters, 5 Principal Factors were extracted, scores of three Principal Factors showing significant differ­ences between sexes. Highest sexual dimorphism in this analysis corresponds to the Principal Factor 3 (molar toothrow), follow the Principal Factor 2 (posterior region of the skull) and Principal Factor 1 (main length measurements). This suggest that the high degree of sexual dimorphism observed in the Spanish ibex skull is mainly related to horn traits and, to a lesser extent, of other skull features like molar toothrow length.
The morphology of the lingual side of the mandible was analysed in the genus Marmota. Adults from 12 of 14 living species were compared using geometric morpho- metric techniques. The information on the lingual side was then combined with that of the labial side from a previous analysis. The combined dataset is the most complete description of a marmot mandible ever used in an interspecific comparison in this genus and it represents the second morphological study ever realized that includes a large sample with all marmot species. The study confirmed the uniqueness of M. vancouverensis for mandible morphology, with atypical traits likely to have evolved in a relatively young but small population of marmots isolated on the Vancouver Island since the end of the Pleistocene (10 000-100 000 ybp), stressing the importance of a strong effort to save this species from extinction. Marmota olympus also has a distinctive mandibular trait undetected in a previous analysis using information on the lingual side only. The Olympic marmot has a longer evolutionary history but it is presently found only in the Olympic Peninsula and shares with M. vancouverensis a similar history of geographic isolation and population bottlenecks. Genetic bottlenecks might have profoundly affected marmot morphological evolution and may have increased the rate of shape change in marmot radiations. Both the analysis of the lingual side alone and the combined dataset (lingual and labial information) failed to clearly discriminate the two main marmot subgenera but the combined description of the mandible supports the similarity of the two main species (M. caligata and M. flaviventris) of the subgenus Petromarmota, and the proximity of the North American M. monax to Palaearctic marmots. Surprisingly, the analysis of the lingual side indicated that M. camtschatica and M. marmota have unusual traits for the subgenus Marmota. At least for the latter species, this finding is congruent with peculiarities in fur and parasitic relationships, and may be related to an ancient phylogenetic origin for M. marmota.
Growth in mammals often implies differences in body proportions and tissue development more or less characteristic for different age periods and ontogenetic stages. Mouth morphology is an important functional trait in herbivores, as it may determine both maximal intake rate and possibly level of selectivity. An untested hypothesis is that since individual bones within the skeleton are retarded in growth and development in proportion to their growth intensity at each time interval during periods of restricted nutritional supply, this may potentially affect ultimate skeletal proportions. We analysed data on mandible proportions (anterior:total) of 62 fetuses collected at different stages of growth and 16 776 red deerCervus elaphus Linnaeus, 1758 hinds from 0 to 26 years of age and 24026 males from 0 to 22 years of age harvested during autumns 1965–2001 along the west coast of Norway. At the fetal stage, the mandible proportion was negatively related to body weight and, therefore, declined with age of the fetus. The anterior part of the mandible was initially longer than the posterior part; the mandible proportion was between 0.75–0.8 at the fetal stage, but declined with increasing age. The relationship between mandible proportion and weight was strong for calves, but decreased with increasing age, and the relationship was almost flat when reaching 5 years of age. From 5 years, the anterior and posterior part of the mandible was approximately equal in length and this mandible proportion (0.50–0.51), which was unrelated to weight, remained stable for the rest of the life in both hinds and stags. After they were fully-grown, early conditions (cohort density and climate as measured by the North Atlantic Oscillation) had no measurable effect on ultimate mandible proportions after the effect of body weight was removed.
