Sexual Dimorphism Analysis in Egyptian Population by Locating the Mandibular Canal Using CBCT

Sexual Dimorphism Analysis in Egyptian Population by Locating the Mandibular Canal Using Cone-beam Computed Tomography: an Observational Cross Sectional Study

Sexual dimorphism analysis in Egyptian population by locating the mandibular canal using cone-beam computed tomography: an observational cross sectional study

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Gender Identity
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: CBCT scan by planmeca promax

Detailed Description

Many studies from different countries such as United States, China, Japan, and Europe were done to observe the distinct morphologic and morphometric manifestations of sexual dimorphism. Accordingly, it is mandatory to target a specific population with their unique skeletal features.
