Morphological Study of Mandibular Condyles - A Quantitative Approach
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anatomy - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: In ontogeny, the mandible undergoes substantial morphological and dimensional changes. These changes are largely associated with development of primary and secondary dentition in the human. Objectives: To contribute to quantitative aspect of mandibular morphology, that will be of interest to Anatomists, Orthodontists and Anthropologist who need precise information about structural properties of bony parts. Results: Length of condyle of right and left side of the mandibles in dentulous group was not significant in while significant in edentulous group. Mean values of width of condyle indentulous and edentulous groups was in siginificant Conclusions: length of condyle is affected by edentulous state in this study
