Structure
[edit]The lingula of the mandible is a prominent bony ridge on the medial side of the mandible.[1] It is next to the mandibular foramen.[1] It has a notch from which the mylohyoid groove originates. It gives attachment to the sphenomandibular ligament.
Variation
[edit]The lingula of the mandible can take many shapes, including triangular, truncated, and nodular.[1] In a majority of people, this shape is symmetrical.[1]
