title: [Anatomic and anthropologic considerations on mandible].
abstract: The mandible is one of the most important bones of the face, by its function in the temporomandibular joint and by its role in the facial aesthetics. From this reason, our article makes some measurements on the mandible (the mandibular length, the bicondylar breath and the mandibular index). We made the measurements on 20 masculine and feminine skulls.
