Abstract

 Background and Objective: The knowledge of morphometric analysis of the ramus of mandible helps in forensic analysis as well as in several maxilla-facial surgeries. Many studies on linear and angular morphometry of the mandibular body have been conducted, but those on the mandibular ramus have not yet been reported. Our study aimed at doing Morphometric analysis of mandibular ramus. Materials and Methods: Fifty dry adult human mandibles were collected from the collection of the department of Anatomy of Navodaya Medical College, Raichur. The Morphometric analysis of the mandibles was done with vernier calipers. Results: The mandibular ramus was at the same distance from each landmark on both sides demonstrating symmetry. There was no significant difference in the values on the right and left sides of the mandibles. Conclusion: Anatomic knowledge of the morphometry of the ramus of mandible helps us in solving forensic problems as well as in maxilla-facial surgeries.
