    The purpose of the study was to determine the location of the mental foramen evaluated on digital panoramic radiographs of adult patients in Lima, 2021. The study was quantitative, observational, and descriptive, where 217 digital panoramic radiographs were assessed using the EZDent-i program. The technique applied was observation, and the data collection instrument was a data sheet. Regarding the location of the mental foramen in the horizontal direction, the majority of patients had position 3 (59%) on the right side, as well as on the left side (60.8%), meaning that the mental foramen is located between the first and second molars. In the vertical direction, position C was found in 87.6% on the right side and 88.9% on the left side, meaning it is located apically to the line connecting the apices of the premolars. Regarding the horizontal location of the mental foramen on the right side, the majority were women who presented position 3 (31.8%), and on the left side, it was the same (33.2%), meaning that the mental foramen is located between the first and second molars. The majority of patients were between 31 and 50 years old and had position 3 (47%) on the right side and (46.5%) on the left side. It was concluded that the most common location of the mental foramen is between the first and second premolar.
