Morphological Variations of Lingula in South Indian Mandibles

Abstract

The shape of lingula was studied in 193 mandibles. Of these 173 showed bilateral symmetry. Five different shapes of lingula were identified – Nodular, truncated, triangular, assimilated and M shaped. In majority i.e, in 42% of mandibles, the lingula was seen to be nodular. This is in contrast to the studies done by earlier authors.
