Sažetak
Beside the alredy analysed bioanthropometric characteristics of the lower jaw, additional mesurments of parameters insufficiently discussed in reference literature were performed in our study. On the basis of the obtained data it was possible to define relevant biometrical relations in the region of the lawer jaw branch and anatomical regions that are especially important to the use of conduction anasthesia. All mesurments were defined on the basis of anteroposterior (horizontal) and vertical directions. The relation between different anatomical structures of the lower jaw interior branch and foramen mandibulae served as a focal point. When related to anteropostrior plane the mandibular foramen was located precisely in the midle of the distance between crista temporalis and posterrior ramus ridge. Viewed in vertical direction the lowest point of mandibular opening was slightly closer to the mandibular angle than to incisure of mandibule, meaning that in the majoriti of macerated skulls mandibular foramen had a relatively low position.
