Dimorphic study of surgical anatomic landmarks of the lateral ramus of the mandible.
Sixty-three human cadaver hemimandibles of known sexual origin were studied. The anatomic relationship between the midpoint of the waist of the lateral ramus and the mandibular foramen was examined and compared with that of the antilingula. No statistical differences were found between either these two landmarks or the sexes.
