ABSTRACT
The amount of GA is directly related to the thickness of the symphyseal area of the mandible at the location of the geniotubercle. Silverstein et al. (14) revealed a mean geniotubercle bony thickness of 12.6mm with a range of 9-15mm, while the surgical results of the study by Troell (16) revealed similar findings with a mean thickness of the geniotubercle fragment of 11.4mm and a range of 8-15mm.
