Abstract: The topographic and morphometric anatomy of various foramina provides an easy approach in performing nerve blocks by their proper tracking for regional anesthesia in surgical interventions.In this study, the mandible of Hemshin sheep of both sexes were examined.The topographic and morphometric structure of the mental foramen was examined.In this study, a total of 15 adult Hemshin sheep mandible of both sexes of different age and body weight were used.Materials were obtained from the municipal slaughterhouse of Ardanuç district of Artvin province.Mandible was separated from the head and skin, muscle and ligaments was cleaned and allowed to dry by standard technique.In the light of the literature, various measurements were made from the mandible using an electronic caliper.In Hemshin sheep the shape of mental foramen was round and oval.There was no difference between the bilateral sides of the mandible.The mental foramen was quite deep.The distance of the mental foramen from the ventral edge of the mandible was 0.69 ± 0.13 cm in the sheep.The distance of 1. premolar teeth and mental foramen was 1.98 ± 0.21 cm.The distance between the mental foramen and lateral incisive teeth was 2.40 ± 0.37 cm. the distance between caudal edge of the mandible and mental foramen was measured as 13.49 ± 1.35 cm.
