          Abstract

          This study has been conducted on forty-five Asiatic skulls and sixty-two mixed skulls of black and white Americans to determine the anteroposterior relationship of the mandibular foramen. The mean size of the anterior dimension was greater than the mean size of the posterior dimension of the ramus in all instances. The mandibular foramen was found to be located in the third quadrant anteroposteriorly. The lingula was located just anterior to the mandibular foramen. There was no right- or left-side dominance in the ramus size and position of the mandibular foramen. No appreciable difference was noted in the location of mandibular foramen in the two groups studied.
