Where is the mental foramen located in the mandibular premolar?

Depending on the anatomical location of the mental foramen, 1 st molar anesthesia may be obtained as well. The mental foramen is typically found adjacent to the root of the mandibular premolar and may deviate between the apices of the 1 st premolar and the 1 st molar.

Can a mandibular injection miss the inferior alveolar nerve?

In many patients the standard point of injection is too low resulting in deposition of local anaesthetic solution at or below the level of the mandibular lingula and thus missing the inferior alveolar nerve.
