[Developmental tendencies of the sagittal tooth axis between 10-13 years of age and the end of life; impact on retention?].
In this study, 854 lateral cephalograms of normal toothed subjects from 10 to 87 years old who had no orthodontic treatment are analyzed. The posterior angles established by molars and sagitally examined maxillo-mandibular incisor-canine groups during occlusion are measured with age. These modifications are quantified in a general manner and then depending on facial typology.
