Abstract

Human mandible is only a movable bone forms lower jaw of the skull. It articulates with the temporal boneat the synovial temporomandibular joint, Mandible consists of a horizontal horse shoe shaped body and twobroad rami projecting upward from the posterior end of body. Each ramus of mandible presents two surfaces,external and internal. The aim of the study is to identify the location of mandibular foramen in relationto the limits of mandibular ramus and to correlate the data with the other research works. In the presentstudy 200 dry adult human mandibles of unknown sex and age were collected from the Dept. of Anatomy,J.N.M.C. Sawangi (M) Wardha, DMIMS (DU) and the students of first M.B.B.S of J.N.M.C. Sawangi (M),Wardha, Maharashtra and various measurements were noted. According to the results of the study, it isconcluded that there is variability of the mandibular foramen of the two mandibular rami in the same person.There is variable difference between the locations of mandibular foramen in the dry human mandibles ofthe same zone. It may be due to differences in the age, sex and development in population. This study ismainly concentrated on finding the location of mandibular foramen by measuring its distance from variouslandmarks on mandibular ramus.
