Aim: To measure and compare various measurements of the ramus in mandible on digital orthopantomographs (OPGs) and to assess the usefulness of such measurements in prediction of sex in an individual. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was carriedout using 500 digital orthopantomographs (OPGs) with five rami measurements taken .. Read More»
