| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to clarify the morphological characteristics and function of the protuberance and/or fossa on the lateral surface of the mandible, we examined 778 mandibles of non-human primates. Both protuberance and fossa were found in Macaca, Chlorocebus, and Cercocebus. The protuberance was composed of compact bone, and was similar to the mandibular torus in humans. A well-developed protuberance was cloth to the orifice of buccal pouch. A deep and large fossa was found in all individuals of Papio, Theropithecus, and Mandrillus, and the bone width was thin in the center of the fossa. The fossa extended from the third premolar to second molar region, and the deepest area was the first molar region. These concavo-convex structures have some biological functions and represent an adaptive change for mastication.
