Mandibular foramen is below or above the occlusional plane? Answer will be appreciated. Thanks!

how is it below the occlusal plane? In every picture i look at it looks like its much higher, even with the curve... i guess i just have to not think about it and commit it to memory 😡😡😡

Below? Forget the decks, look at a radiograph. The mandibular foramen is superior to the occlusal plane.

well i would say its above occlusal plane also, but if the people who are correcting my exam say its below...by all means, i'll say its below....just to get my one point out of desperation!

They might just be wrong...

i know, that's why i said, even if its wrong, i'll say its right for my one point.

I just hope the decks are right though, because I've found some pretty obvious mistakes in them:😕😕
