87 Determination of intra-oral surface areas length of the head and the mandible height were in the moderate range, indicating less agreement between the first and second measurements. The anthropometric measurements for all the cadavers are also shown in Table 3. The mean and standard deviation for the different anthropometric measurements are presented for all cadavers, female and male cadavers. The results of seven cadavers were not reported separately because their gender was unknown. Most of the anthropometric measurements showed signifcant diferences between females and males (Table 3). For all measurements, males showed higher values compared to females, except for the palatal width, which was significantly larger in females compared to males. Table 2 The mean and standard deviation of the intra-oral surface area (in cm2) for the cadavers, stratified according to gender. Surface area in cm2 Total (N = 20) Female (N = 8) Male (N = 5) P-value difference female vs male ICC Palate 20.0 ± 2.88 20.0 ± 1.78 19.4 ± 4.05 0.748 0.77 Tongue 35.2 ± 5.16 35.0 ± 3.26 34.0 ± 3.67 0.633 0.90 Hard tissue 21.5 ± 11.06 26.4 ± 10.32 15.6 ± 9.76 0.087 0.95 Mucosa 96.6 ± 12.10 94.8 ± 14.55 96.9 ± 12.6 0.792 0.95 Total area 173.3 ± 19.3 176.1 ± 18.6 165.9 ± 18.2 0.353 0.99 N indicates the number of cadavers. The P-value of the ANOVA one-way test is shown. The ICC indicates the degree of agreements between the different researchers for the oral surface areas. For 7 cadavers the gender was unknown, for this reason they are not included in the ANOVA comparison. 4
