    Objective: This study evaluates the mandibular lingual foramina (LF) using computed tomographic imaging data from a large Central European cohort, focusing on the most relevant anatomical parameters. We aimed to examine whether there are differences in key parameters between ethnic groups, or based on age and gender. Additionally, we analyze the potential effect of tooth loss on the LF and discuss risk management options before and during surgery. Methods: 460 CT scans of adults (273 females and 186 males) were examined. The number, the location and the diameter of the median and lateral LF were assessed for each patient. The data was analyzed statistically, whereby a p-value lower than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: Median and lateral LF were present in 95,9%, and 38,9% of patients, respectively. Male patients had a greater number of LF than females. While the majority of median LF (62%) was located above the mental spine, the majority of lateral LF was located below (84%). The diameter of lateral LF (1,15 mm±0,33) was smaller than for median LF (1,22 mm±0,35), as well the lateral canals (4,8 mm±1,28) were shorter than the median canals (5,32 mm±1,74). Lateral LF were equidistant to the symphysis (13,89±3,63 mm) on either side. Critical diameter size >1 mm was found in about 2/3 of our cases. The distance from the foramen to the residual ridge was ∼7 mm less in edentulous patients compared to dentulouspatients. Conclusion: The median LF is a near-obligatory ...
