Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate sexual dimorphism in anthropometric measurements on mandibular images obtained by cone beam computed tomography. This retrospective study consists of 50 CBCT images (25 Male and 25 Female) from MAHER (Meenakshi Ammal Higher Education & Research institute, Chennai.) and the age ranges from 20 to 60 years. In the CBCT images 8 measurements were performed: 1.distance from the mandibular foramen to the most anterior part of the mandibular ramus; 2. distance from the mandibular foramen to the most posterior part of the ramus; 3. distance from the superior aspect of IAC to the occlusal plane of mandibular 1st molar; 4. distance from the inferior aspect of IAC to the bottom of the mandibular canal; 5. distance from the IAC to the mandibular alveolar ridge (lingual); 6. distance from the IAC to the mandibular alveolar ridge (buccal); 7. distance from the mental foramen to the crest of the alveolar ridge; and 8. distance from the mental foramen to the base of the mandible. The values obtained was statistically analysed with SPSS software. The mean values with standard deviation was obtained and found to be significant for 5 mandibular measurements: AMaF, PMaF, SIAC, IIAC, and BIAC with a p value of <0.5%.
