Relation of Basion to Articulare
Abstract
The distance between Basion and Articulare is evaluated serially and cross-sectionally between the ages of five and twenty. It is concluded that this is a stable relationship that makes Articulare a reliable cranial base landmark. This stability also makes the relationship of articulare to basion a useful indicator of condyle position when comparing different films of the same subject.
