A description of the differences in function of the muscles of mastication in various species, with a caution to consider those variations in any attempt to relate animal findings to the human masticatory mechanism.
Analysis of interarch tooth width harmony in the mixed dentition using an incisor ratio. The mean ratio of lower to upper incisor tooth width in excellent occlusions was found to be 0.73:1 (73%).
A preliminary study, finding distal movement of buccal teeth and reduced anterior crowding following lower second molar extraction. Third molar occlusion is not evaluated.
