[The x-ray cephalometric characteristics of the facial skeleton in mesial occlusion].

Facial skeleton was studied by roentgenocephalometric analysis in 30 patients with mesial occlusion and in 63 with orthognathic occlusion. A multidimensional statistical analysis helped specify the pathogenesis of multidimensional occlusion, resultant, first of all, from discrepancy in the development of the jaws. This factor leads to the formation of the so-called forms of mesial occlusion, clinically the most incident.
