We examined 412 mandibles from adult males. Using the classic anthropometric methods according to Martin-Saller, we took 17 measurements: length, width, height and angle of the mandible. The data obtained were subjected to variance and correlation analyses. We observed poor correlations for the length of the dental arch, the height of the ascending ramus, the condylar width and the width of the chin; there were medium correlations for the following measurements: mental plane, median plane and angular width in the region of 46, 47, 36, 37 and the thickness of the alveolar portion. The correlations for all the other measurements were high; in some cases, they approximated the normal value.
