Abstract

The human mandible is a complex bone that plays a critical role in various functional and aesthetic aspects of human anatomy. The morphologic and morphometric parameters of the mandible are essential for understanding the variations in the mandible among different populations.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the morphologic and morphometric parameters of the human mandible.Methods: Fifty mandibles obtained from cadavers of different ages and genders were measured for morphologic features such as shape, size, and position of the mandible, as well as anatomical landmarks such as the angle of the mandible, ramus height, and body length. The data obtained were statistically analyzed using SPSS software, and the results were compared with previous studies in the literature.Results: The mandible was generally symmetrical in shape, and the size of the mandible increased with age. The angle of the mandible was wider in males than females, and the ramus height was higher in males than females. The body length of the mandible was also longer in males than females.Conclusion: This study provides valuable information about the morphologic and morphometric parameters of the human mandible. The results can be used in various fields such as forensic science, orthodontics, and maxillofacial surgery. The knowledge of these parameters can also aid in understanding the variations in the mandible among different populations. Further studies are needed to explore the ethnic and regional differences in the morphologic and morphometric parameters of the mandible.
