Abstract

Morphological characteristics of the asymmetric mandible in 135 adult male patients were investigated. Panoramic X-ray images were recorded. Age, ramus height, antegonial notch height, condylar height, coronoid process height, ramus body height and condylar neck angle were calculated and measured. Statistical analysis of unpaired two-tailed t-test and correlation coefficients was performed to find the morphologic differences between short ramus height side and the other. Condylar height and ramus body height in short ramus height side were smaller than those of the other side. Antegonial notch height, coronoid process height, condylar neck angle showed no differences. Condylar neck height was correlated with condylar neck angle.
