Mandibular Anatomy & Growth Interdisciniplinary Consortium

Studygroup for growth and development of the oral and maxillofacial components based on forensic, embryonic en radiological information with goal to produce a growth model for initially the mandible, in order to replace traditional two dimensional

Growth of the lower jaw is poorly understood and never rechearched in the 3rd dimension, which will be relevant to understand and predict the results of illness, treatment of illnes, orthodontic growth modulation and surgery on the development of form and function. Information will be collected by forensic relics, forensic radiogrammetry and embryology.
