Abstract

This article discusses the results of a research study conducted to determine the angle of the mandible in 127 human skulls and 135 living human subjects. The study finds no increase in the angle in relation to advancing age but does find an increase in the angle in relation to the loss of teeth. The researchers note that that angle may be preserved if dentures are added immediately following tooth loss.
