Presence of&#13;
any such variation during implant placement, regional anesthesia and surgical correction of the&#13;
jaw deformities may develop neurovascular complications. In order to avoid complications, the&#13;
probability of the existence of an accessory mental foramen should be kept in mind. During&#13;
routine osteology demonstration classes we noticed an accessory mental foramen on both sides&#13;
of mandible. So particular attention should be paid to the possible occurrence of one or more&#13;
accessory mental foramen during surgical procedures involving the mandible. The clinical&#13;
implications of such variation are discussed in this paper.&#13;
