Mandibular foramen, morphometric, sexual dimorphism, ageAbstract
The mandibular foramen (MF) is located bilaterally just above the centre of internal surface of ramus of mandible, however, its exact position varies amongst different population groups. The aim of this study was to determine the exact location of mandibular foramen among black South African population using a possible correlation of radiographic and morphometric analysis.
