Research on variation in dental occlusion. A "state of the art" workshop conducted by the Craniofacial Anomalies Program, the National Institute of Dental Research.
The following report on assessing research on variation in dental occlusion was based in part on a workshop conducted by the National Institute of Dental Research at the initiative of Richard L. Christiansen, Chief, Craniofacial Anomalies Program. The meeting was planned and developed by Robert J. Isaacson, Chairman, Touro M. Graber, Richard A. Riedel, and Richard L. Christiansen. This report is designed to provide a review of the achievements, directions, and needs of research concerning variations in dental occlusion. The workshop was held at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, on Nov 22 and 23, 1972. The material presented by the workshop participants has been summarized and incorporated in this report. The subject of research related to the field of malocclusion was discussed in an article published in the American Journal of Orthodontics in January, 1971.
