Abstract
Introduction : The area perilingularis is an anatomo-functional complex that gathers the mandibular foramen, the lingula , the antilingula and the mylohyoid groove. The development of these structures and their ontogenetic coordination have been poorly studied. Material and methods : Development scorings have been made and studied for each of these structures and their links. Results and discussion : These scorings have shown an ontogenetic evolution towards accentuation and migration of the reliefs. Moreover, the development of the structures was statistically linked. The determinism of the area perilingularis , inherited or under the influence of the environment, is discussed. The anthropological perspectives are numerous, and old anthropological conceptions concerning the area perilingularis are questioned.
