Abstract

A comparison of basic anatomic relationships among the middle endocranial fossa, the mandibular ramus, the maxillary and mandibular bony arches, and the nasomaxillary complex in the Black and Caucasian craniofacial composites. Major differences were found, especially in those underlying Class III malocclusion.
