Gerardo Munoz MantillaBALLESTEROS, L. E.; RAMIREZ, L. M. & MUNOZ, G. Mandibular fossa depth variations: Relation to age and dental state. Int. J.Morphol., 29(4):1189-1194, 2011.SUMMARY: A mandibular fossa depth correlation with dental condition and age in humans. 120 fresh male mandibular fossaswere measured from the deepest area of the fossa to a horizontal reference line. The samples were classified according to age a nd dentalstate (dentate, partially dentate and totally edentulous) and a multivariate analysis was employed. Subjects average age was 41 .1 (20-85).There were more partially dentate individuals (59.16%) than dentate (30%) or edentulous ones (10.83%). Average fossa depth was 6.9mm (6.6-7.1 mm 95%CI) which significantly decreased with increased age and dental health deterioration (p<0.01). A period of fiveyears edentulism increased the likelihood of mandibular fossa flattening (<6.9 mm) by 20.6% and 7.2% in dentate ones. Our findingsfound an association between dental state and age as determinant factors in reducing mandibular fossa depth.KEY WORDS: Temporomandibular joint; Mandibular fossa; Dental condition; Articular tubercule; Age groups.
