66. QUANTITATION OF MAXILLARY
REMODELING
Uniform displacement of all 3 pts in vertical
direction [downward displacement –0.3mm/year]
Horizontal direction posterior displacement of all
3 pts [however the displacement of PNS was
greater than ANS and pt A ]
THE INCREASE IN LENGTH IS PRIMARILY
BECAUSE OF GROWTH IN POSTERIOR BORDER
Sheldon Baumrind,Edward Korn
AJO JAN 1987
www.indiandentalacademy.com

Established by the posterior boundary
of anterior cranial fossa
Helps in posterior and horizontal
