Dento-facial morphology in patients with advanced attrition

Abstract
Dento-facial morphology was studied in a group of 20 adults of Norwegian ancestry with pathological attrition of the incisors. The mandible was more horizontal, the gonial angle more acute and the interincisal angle more obtuse than in a normal adult material. The relationship between the muscular hyperactivity assumed to cause attrition and be associated with the morphology was discussed.
