| Abstract: | Measurements of the height of the mandibular body and the length of the palate rest on the assumption that the alveolar parts
of the mandible and maxilla are not altered. Unfortunately, in the skeletal remains of the past population most of the molar
teeth are often antemortem lost and this tooth loss is followed by resorption of the alveolar ridge. A new method of taking
mandibular and palate measurements, which could be used in these cases is proposed in the study. |
