title: [Validation of the concept of morphofunctional unity of the structural components of the human mandible].
abstract: Interconnections of the mandibular macro- and microsigns have been studied in 98 corpses of men. By means of the multidimensional analysis discreteness and autonomy of the mandibular structural components are revealed; this demonstrates that there is a possibility of an active arrangement of parts and structural components of the mandible depending on the external environmental conditions in order to reach optimal terminal functional effect--chewing. The most discriminative signs of contrasting variants in the structure of the mandible are revealed.
