Cephalometric studies of the mandible, its masticatory muscles and vasculature of growing Göttingen Minipigs—A comparative anatomical study to refine experimental mandibular surgery
Table 5
The total mean values of all parameters measured in each of the three minipig age groups and the corresponding data of humans from the scientific literature. The three different colors identify the differences between the age-group values of the minipigs and the mean values of human data, presented as a minipig/human ratio (MP:H). Ratios lower than 0.85 and higher than 1.15 were defined as substantial anatomical deviations (in red) between the two species where no comparability is present. Parameters with ratios within the range of 0.85 and 1.15 were considered to have a moderate (>0.85 and <1.15 in yellow) or a high (>0.9 and <1.1 in green) comparability.
