Abstract

The Author measured the position of the mandibular foramen with oblique cephalography in 43 5-aged, and 44 7-aged Korean children. The results of the studies were as follows; 1) The distance from the post. occlusal plane to the mandibular foramen was $3.16{\pm}1.22mm$. in age 5 and $1.86{\pm}1.50mm$. in age7 to the below. 2) The meeting point of the occlusal plane and anterior of the ramus to the mandibular foramen was $16.56{\pm}2.18mm$. in age5 and $16.88{\pm}2.69mm$. in age7. 3) The angulation between the occlusal plane and the line connecting the mandibular foramen and the meeting point of anterior border of the ramus with occlusal plane was $12.70{\pm}4.31^{\circ}$ in age5 and $8.27{\pm}5.36^{\circ}$ in age7 to the below. 4) % depth was $56.93{\pm}5.65%$ in age 5 and $53.20{\pm}7.12%$ in age 7. 5) The price of distance and angulation showed significant results at 0.01 level in KOLMOGOROV-SMIRNOV (TWO-SAMPLE) TEST.
