Biometrical studies on ancient skeletal series and comparison with modern people by using radiological methods are quite limited in Turkey. Previous studies showed that measurements obtained from orthopantomographs are highly correlated with the actual size of the bones. The aim of the present study is to determine the possible change in gonial angle over time in ancient Anatolian populations with the present. Also an aim was attempted to demonstrate the symmetry of the gonial angle in the jaws and the sexual dimorphism. Gonial angle values (right and left) were taken from 267 Turkish adults with no craniomandibular disorders, orthodontic history or treatment by using panoramic radiographs. Data of the past populations were collected from previous studies. Comparison between right and left sides and the sexual differences were tested by paired student t-test and discriminant analyses were conducted. The results showed that there were no significant differences between the right and left gonial angles of the individuals but there was a significant difference at the left gonial angle between sexes (p < 0.01). Furthermore, no statistically significant difference was found for the gonial angle between the selected past populations with the present sample.
在土耳其，运用放射学方法对古代骨骼序列进行生物测量研究并与现代人进行比较的情况相当有限。先前的研究表明，从曲面断层片获得的测量结果与骨骼的实际尺寸高度相关。本研究的目的是确定古代安纳托利亚人群与现代人群相比，下颌角随时间可能发生的变化。此外，还试图证明下颌角在颌骨中的对称性以及性别二态性。通过全景X线片，从267名无颅下颌疾病、正畸病史或治疗史的土耳其成年人中获取下颌角值（右侧和左侧）。过去人群的数据从先前的研究中收集。通过配对学生t检验对左右两侧进行比较以及检验性别差异，并进行判别分析。结果显示，个体的左右下颌角之间无显著差异，但性别之间左侧下颌角存在显著差异（p < 0.01）。此外，所选过去人群与当前样本之间在下颌角方面未发现统计学上的显著差异。
