New perspectives on orientation and their benefits to clinical orthodontics--part II.
As composites were compared from the frontal and lateral, the organization tended to point to orientation of growth of cavities in the face from the divisions of the fifth nerve. Three-dimensional constructed capsules of the orbital, nasal and oral cavities may be reduced to the inputs from the entrance of these nerves into their appointed functional matrices. These orientations were found to be so useful and beneficial that they have been adopted for computer functions. They have also been found fruitful for prediction.
