Abstract:
A cephalometric study was conducted on 34 complete denture wearers to examine the relationship between the area of the mandible and the skeletal facial form, the area of the mandible and the gonial angle, and the area of the mandible and the length of the mandible. No significant correlation was found between the area of the mandible and the skeletal facial types or the gonial angle. A statistically significant correlation (P < 0.0028) was found between the length of the mandible and the area of the mandible. Residual resorption of the mandible appears to be independent of skeletal facial form and the gonial angle.
