Radiomorphometric indices of mandibular bones in an 18th century population

Highlights • Orthopantomographs of 36 samples from the 18th century. • Four radiomorphometric indices assessed on 36 orthopantomographs. • Antegonion right, gonion left and average were significantly higher in males. • Mandibular cortex was significantly more porous with reduced occlusal support. •...
