Three-dimensional comparison of mandibular shape variability across skeletal classes: Cross-sectional geometric morphometric study
The 3D modeling revealed significant age-related changes in mandibular basal contour, transverse expansion, chin projection, ramus height and thickness, gonial angle, and anterior body curvature. This highlights the value of 3D models for precise analysis of changes in mandibular shape across ages.
