ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study applied anatomy of adult mandibular ramus and condyle.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Observation and measurement were made on 16 adult mandibular rami and condyles.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Thickness became gradually greater within 15 mm from the back edge of ramus. Some adult mandibular rami had no spongy bone at the level of 10 mm above mandibular foramen.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>These date are very important for application of lag screw osteosynthesis in condylar fracture.</p>
