A Mathematical Study of Anterior Dental Relations: Part II, Incisor and Canine Overjet

Abstract

A mathematical model of anterior inter-arch relations was described in a previous article.1 This model is modified and manipulated and, using hypothetical dental measurements, results are generated and presented. The present work continues the two-dimensional examination of anterior dental relations in the first article, the emphasis remaining on incisor and cauine overjet.
