Thesis (M.Sc.D.)--Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry, 1972. (Orthodontics) / Bibliography included. / Thirty-six cases, six months to two years in retention
were examined for antero-posterior changes during and after
active treatment. All cases except one were Glass II. Pretreatment,
post-treatment and two sets of retention cephalograms,
panorexes and models were evaluated and the data
examined to determine the association of certain skeletal and
dental parameters to overjet. During treatment the skeletal
changes (SNA, SNB, ANB) were small, while the dental changes
(maxillary incisor to NA, mandibular incisor to NB and the
interincisal angles) were large. Skeletal changes appeared to
be more stable in retention than dental changes. Overjet
appeared unrelated to the degree of intercuspation, a long
postulated theory regarding post-treatment stability.
