Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the displacement of glenoid fossa during growth, and to investigate the relationship between the displacement of glenoid fossa and mandible. Pretreatment and posttreatment lateral cephalograms of 41 patients (male : 13, female : 28) were obtained from the orthodontic clinics of Wonkwang university hospital and were analized in terms of the position of articulare and mandible and statistically. The obtained results were as follows, 1. Aritculare was displaced posteriorly and inferioly during craniofacial growth and development. 2. The more posteriorly articulare displaced, the less anteriorly pogonion displaced, but the more inferiorly menton displancd. 3. The more posteriorly or inferiorly articulare was located, the more inferiorly menton displaced, and the more posteriorly articulare was located posteriorly, the less cant of the mandibular plane.
