Differences between male and female mandibular length growth according to panoramic radiograph

Abstract

Evaluation of the mandible was used for age and sex determination in the forensic field and it established the treatment planning in dentistry. The present study aims to determine mandibular length growth on male and female group aged 9-25 years old using panoramic radiograph. The research was conducted using analytical cross-sectional design method. The subject of this research was 412 panoramic radioraphs of patients aged 9-25 years old. It involved a totalsamples of 207 males and 205 females. This research was conducted from May to October 2017 in RSGM Padjadjaran University Bandung to meassure the length and height of mandibula from the point in condyleus to mentone. The MannWhitney test results showed a significant difference in mandibular length between men and women and no significant difference between the right andleft mandibular length in men and women. There is a difference between male and female mandibular length growth, in which the increase of growth of mandibular length in female is earlier than that of male. Male mandibular length is greater than female.

Differences in Panoramic Mandibular Index value between male and female hypertension patients using panoramic radiography

“…These findings are consistent with the study by Azhari et al, which also demonstrated no significant difference in mandibular cortex width values between males and females. 15 The findings of this study are consistent with the research conducted by Satria et al, which also demonstrated a decrease in mandibular cortical thickness in hypertensive patients consuming amlodipine.…”

“…20 The results of this study are supported by the research conducted by Azhari et al in 2019, which stated that there were relatively small differences in the average length of the right and left mandibles between males and females. 15…”

Identification of Mandibular Foramen Position Based on Age of RSGM UMY Patients Using Panoramic Radiographs

“…In the age group of 20-24 year, it presents the decrease of the mandibular growth. Meanwhile, the age group of 25-29 years indicates that the mandibular size is relatively constant [12,13]. From the table, it shows that most of the subjects were from the age 2 and 3 show the distribution of the position of the mandibular foramen in each age group based on the side of the mandibular foramen studied.…”

“…It can be caused by the increase in the mandible length and width that occurs with increasing age [8]. Thus, the sample grouping in this study was based on the age of mandibular development to facilitate researchers in describing the position of the mandibular foramen according to age [12,13]. A total of 330 panoramic radiographs were used as samples in this study consisting of 34 radiographs of patients aged 10-14 years, 49 radiographs of patients aged 15-19 years, 187 radiographs of patients aged 20-24 years, and 60 radiographs of patients aged 25-29 years.…”

Reankylosis of temporomandibular joint 5 years after interpositional arthroplasty using gold foil: management and follow up (a case report)

“…2 B). The acceleration of mandibular growth takes place together with the growth of body height, which peaks at the age of 12–14 years in female [ 15 , 16 ]. Besides, children are generally uncooperative or disobey with post-operative instructions.…”
