Abstract

The imaging study was conducted on 3 cadaver mandible of male camel. CT scan and computed radiography were performed for detailed morphological study of horizontal ramus of mandible in order to correlate with common fracture sites. The anatomical details of horizontal ramus of mandible viewed in both of the diagnostic imaging techniques correlated with findings of twelve mandibular fracture cases in camels and proved the weakest site was found in the vicinity of the alveolus of 1st premolar at horizontal ramus of mandible.
