Abstract
This investigation does not support the hypothesis that the angle of the jaw becomes more obtuse with age and loss of dentition. A sample of women was studied radiogrammetrically in a cross-sectional and longitudinal manner. It was demonstrated that the mandibular angle maintains a stable configuration from adulthood to old age regardless of dental status.Keywords
