Various intraoral donor sites for autogenous block graft are presented in the literature. However, vital anatomic structures can limit intraoral bone block graft surgeries, and they must be evaluated in detail. The aim of this study is to evaluate the dimensions and volume of the maximum potential symphysis block graft donor site and their relations to the anterior loop of mental foramen.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>According to inclusion criteria, 408 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were evaluated.

The maximum potential symphysis graft height, width, length, and volume were 13.253\u2009\u00b1\u20093.261\u00a0mm, 12.694\u2009\u00b1\u20091.711\u00a0mm, 34.353\u2009\u00b1\u20092.944\u00a0mm, and 3.102\u2009\u00b1\u20091.013\u00a0cm 3, respectively.
