Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether dolichofacial (Frankfort horizontal mandibular plane angle (FHMPA) ≥30°) vs brachyfacial (FHMPA ≤22°) phenotypes differ in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) loads and whether these differences correlate longitudinally with mandibular ramus height (Condylion-Gonion, Co-Go). SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION: Lateral and posteroanterior cephalographs from ten dolichofacial and ten...
