The aim of this study was to the anatomical landmarks and variations supraorbital, infraorbital, mental foramina. One hundred sixty Thai dry skulls were randomly selected from Forensic Osteology Research Center. distances parameters measured by using Vernier caliper. supraorbital foramen could be found in a notch form 13.8 %, single accounted for 82.5 with an accessory represented 3.8 %. Single...

This study examines the variability in the anatomy of mandibles of differing ages and different stages of tooth loss. Mandibles from individuals between 19 and 96 y were sectioned into 2 mm thick vertical plane-parallel slices and cleaned of marrow and periosteum. The apparent density (mass per unit volume in g/ml) from midline (MID) and mental foramen region (MF) sites was determined by weighi...

Objectives: It is clinically essential to know the location of accessory mental foramen in nerve anesthesia. The aim this study was determine frequency and examining its morphometric properties. Methods: A total 35 adult mandibles unknown age, gender, ethnicity were examined. presence mandible investigated bilaterally. In cases with foramen, localization, number, distance relative evaluated. Re...

OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to assess appearance, visibility, location and course of anatomical landmarks in mandibular interforaminal region using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). STUDY DESIGN A total of 96 CBCT examinations was re-evaluated to exploit anatomical landmarks. The examinations used the Promax 3D CBCT unit. A sole examiner carried out all the measurements. Visibilit...

of a Master's Thesis in Human Biology at the University of Indianapolis filed August 2005 Dr. Stephen P. Nawrocki, Chair Dr. Christopher W. Schmidt, Reader In the field of forensic anthropology, the construction of a biological profile is of utmost importance in the identification of a decedent. The biological profile includes the age, sex, stature, and ancestry of the individual. Of these, anc...
