Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Anthropology
  • Biometrics

Context:

  • The mandible is a critical facial bone influencing temporomandibular joint function and aesthetic appearance.
  • Accurate anthropometric data of the mandible is essential for various applications, including forensic science, orthodontics, and reconstructive surgery.

Purpose:

  • To conduct anthropometric measurements of the mandible, specifically focusing on mandibular length, bicondylar breadth, and the mandibular index.
  • To analyze these measurements in a sample of 20 adult human skulls, encompassing both masculine and feminine individuals.

Summary:

  • Measurements of mandibular length, bicondylar breadth, and mandibular index were performed on 20 skulls (10 male, 10 female).
  • The study provides quantitative data on mandibular morphology relevant to facial structure and joint function.

Impact:

  • The findings contribute to a better understanding of normal mandibular variation and morphology.
  • This data can serve as a reference for clinical assessments, anthropological studies, and the development of facial prosthetics or surgical planning.
