The present study was carried out on the mandible of the Mongrel dog. It was the largest bone of the skull and made up of two halves, which were united anteriorly forming mandibular symphysis. The lingual surface was smooth and concave. Its symphyseal surface was rough and irregular. The most prominent curve of the ramus formed the angle of the jaw; the part of the ramus between the body and the angle formed horizontal part and carries the lower cheek teeth. The part of the ramus above the angle formed the vertical part, which was non-tooth bearing expanded part of the mandible.
