Unlocking Insights: Age and Sex Variations in Mandibular Morphology Revealed by Radiographic Analysis

Posted: January 8, 2025
This study explored age- and sex-related morphological variations in the mandibular condyle, sigmoid notch, and coronoid process using panoramic radiographs of 150 German individuals. Younger individuals typically had round condyles, while older participants mostly had flat condyles. Females showed more diamond-shaped condyles and triangular coronoid processes, while males had round condylar processes. Understanding these variations is crucial for diagnosing and treating temporomandibular joint disorders and guiding maxillofacial surgeries for optimal outcomes.
