The mental foramen (MF) is located on the anterior surface of the mandible. It permits passage of the mental nerve and vessels. Studying the morphological variation of (MF) helps to localize the mental nerve to prevent complications during surgery. (MF) character varied considerably among ethnic groups, although, determination the norms is essential, however no study was conducted in Sudanese. The aims of this study are to establish local reference for (MF) width for Sudanese as well as to study the age and gender related difference and to compare the measurements with other populations. The present study was carried out in the Radiology department-Military Hospital, Khartoum -Sudan on 160 adult Sudanese with mean age is 35.26years old. Three dimensional computerized tomography was obtained for the facial bone .The Mandibles were observed for the right and left of (MF) width. In our study we observed that the (MF) mean width were 4.28 and 3.53 mm for right and left sides. The (MF) differs between the two genders significantly at p≤ 0.035 and 0.010 for right and left sides in respectively .A significant changes in (MF) width were detected in different age groups for both right and left sides. New equations were established to identify the (MF) width as local reference for Sudanese population of known age. The present analysis revealed variations in width of MF of Sudanese from other populations. The (MF) width differs according to age and gender.
