Key Points

The study aims to investigate the depth of the submandibular fossa and its relationship with the angle of concavity across different age groups.
Retrospective analysis of 15 CBCT scans (30 sides) divided into two age groups: 25-50 years and 50-70 years.
Images assessed in cross-section with 2 mm slice thickness and 1 mm slice interval.
12.5% of younger adults and 50% of elderly individuals had deeper submandibular fossa (TYPE III).
Equal distribution of deeper fossa (TYPE III) on both sides (right 50%, left 50%).
The angle of concavity increased with the depth of the submandibular fossa.
