Brief summary
We present age morphometric characteristics of the body of the mandible, and their changes in edentulous. A comparison of morphometric parameters of the lower jaw in areas of weakness in adult men second coming of age in the presence of natural teeth, partial or complete loss of natural teeth. The study of morphometric parameters of the lower jaw at different levels revealed the dynamics of change in the shape of the body and the branches of the lower jaw and their size in relation to the partial or complete loss of natural teeth. The paper clearly shows that the loss of teeth affects the morphometric characteristics of the body and the branches of the lower jaw in areas of weakness.
