When you want to give inferior alveolar block for a child you have to take attention that the mandibular foramine is:
a. At level of occlusal plane.***
b.Above the level of occlusal plane.
c. Anterior the level of occlusal plane.
d. Below the level of occlusal plane.
The mandibular foramen was located 4.12 mm below the occlusal plane at the age of 3. It subsequently moved upward with age. By the age of 9, it had reached approximately the same level as the occlusal plane. The foramen continued to move upward to 4.16 mm above the occlusal plane in the adult group. The height percentage averages ranged from the lower 1/3 of the ramus height in the 3 year-old group to the middle of the ramus height in adults. The depth percentage averages ranged from 67.8% in 3 year-old children to 61.7% in adults. For greater accuracy in anesthetic procedures, dentists should relate the locational changes in the mandibular foramen with age when performing block anesthesia for the inferior alveolar nerve.
mandibular foramen is below the occlusal plane in children but in adults it is above the occlusal plane and post to molars.
