Abstract:
The possible alterations caused by occlusal modifications in mandibular head volume were studied in rats by morphometric techniques. The results permitted the authors to conclude that, within the conditions of the experiments, the total volume of the mandibular head was unchanged, although alterations in the direction of growth may occur.
