Sažetak
In this investigation 137 skull dry specimens (78 dentulous and 59 edentulous) were included. The following parameters on the mandibular fossa were measured: D-the depth of mandibular fossa, S- anteroposterior width of mandibular fossa. The depth of mandibular fossa (D) was measured from the deepest point of fossa, to the vertical section with line - the most prominent part of the articular eminence and the most prominent part of processus articularis posterior. The antero- posterior width was measured as a distance from the most prominent part of articular eminence to the most prominent part of processus articularis posterior. Measurements were performed by craniometric method. The obtained data were analyzed for males and females, for the left and right side and for dentulous and edentulous specimens. The rcsults showed no influence of the loss of teeth on the size of fossa. No difference was found between dentulous and edentulous (p<0.05). The difference between left and right joint was found, but it was not sigrificant (pc0.05). Symmetry is more often in edentulous skulls. Significant sexual dimorphism was found for the depth of mandibular fossa in dentulous and edentulous (p<0.05), and for tehe width of fossa sexual dimorphism was present only in edentulous(p<0.05).
