title: Determining mandibular condyle and ramus height with the help of an Orthopantomogram--a valid method?
abstract: The asymmetry of condylar and rami heights was determined from orthopantomograms of 25 macerated skulls and compared with the results of the 'true' values obtained by direct measurements of the skulls. The correlation between the two measuring methods was low.
