    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To compare the location of mandibular foramen in male and female,ang to observe and measure the sigmoid notch and ramus. METHODS: The mandibles of 74 male and 79 female adults from Shanghai were used for the study. The vertical dimension from the center of mandibular foramen to the lowest point of sigmoid notch and the horizontal distance to the posterior margin of ramus were measured,including the depth and the width of sigmoid notch and the height of ramus. The figures were compared between male and female adults. RESULTS: The average distance of mandibular foramen to ramus and sigmoid notch in men and women were 16.75mm,24.50mm and 16.08mm,23.13mm. The average width and depth of sigmoid notch in men and women were 34.20mm,15.33mm and 32.69mm,14.49mm. The average height of ramus in men and women were 61.62mm,57.19mm. CONCLUSION: The difference of vertical dimension from the center of mandibular foramen to the lowest point of sigmoid notch and the horizontal distance to the posterior margin of ramus between male and female adults was not significant, and that of the depth and the width of sigmoid notch and the height of ramus between male and female adults was not significant,either.
