Abstract
The antilingula is a highly variable anatomic landmark and in most instances is situated considerably anteriorly and superiorly to the inferior dental foramen. However, a cut made between 5 and 10 mm. distal to the antilingula is within a statistically safe area, in over 72 per cent of cases, to avoid encroaching upon the inferior alveolar foramen.Mesh:
