Table 2.

Measurements applied to our 3D models of the mandibles. This table gives an overview of all morphological measurements of the mandible assessed in our study, the abbreviations used and the exact definitions of the measured parameters

Term	Abbreviation	Location
Sella	S	Middle of the sella turcica
Nasion	N	Vertex of the concave of the nasal root as seen in the lateral profile
Gonion	B	Vertex of the concave mental part of the mandible as seen in the lateral profile in the centre of the alveolar processus
Top ramus	Top Ram	Bilateral; Most cranial point of the condylar processus
Low ramus	Low Ram	Bilateral; Vertex of the jaw angle
Antegonial notch	AN	Bilateral; Most cranial point of the antegonial notch
Anterior tangent point	ATP	Bilateral; Anterior point of a caudal tangent on the alveolar processus
Posterior tangent point	PTP	Bilateral; Posterior point of a caudal tangent on the alveolar processus
SNB angle	SNB	Angle between S, N, and B
Ramus length		Bilateral; Distance between Top Ram and Low Ram
Depth of the antegonial notch	AND	Bilateral; Distance between AN and the tangent on ATP and PTP in a right angle
Condylar width	CW	Bilateral; Condylar width latero-medial direction in axial view
Condylar length (antero-posterior direction)	CL	Bilateral; Condylar length (antero-posterior direction) in axial view
