The arrowindicates the direction in which the syringe should be advanced to the inferior dentalforamen. (After Fischer.) The foramen itself, in adults, is always situated above the alveolarridge and in a horizontal plane, about cm. from the anterior ridgeof the jaw (the external obhque line) (Figs. 187-189). The two halves of the mandible, when viewed from in front,gradually diverge toward the angle, so that the inner surface of theangle with the mandibular foramen is inclined posteriorly andpharyngeally, and appears to be entirely covered by the internaloblique line.
