The Correlation between Bone Loss and Tooth Malalignment.

Abstract

A dried skull study done on specimens from the Terry collection of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC presents three conclusions: (1) the incidence of malalignment is greater in males and whites than females and blacks; (2) the mandibular centrals and laterals form a separate biological unit from the canines in the incidence and degree of bone loss; (3) the amount of bone loss tends to correlate with the degree of malalignment, agreeing with previous work done using clinical subjects.
