title: [CT structural analysis of the ramus].
abstract: Size and quality of the medullary space in the mandibular ramus are highly variable. Mean value studies using CT scans show a broad range of variation for vertical measurements of the medullary space. An individual CT scan of the mandibular ramus therefore seems to be necessary to establish the optimum line of osteotomy in preparing a sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible.
