title: [Contrast between retrusive contact position and intercuspal position: cephalometric study].
abstract: In this study the differences between the retrusive contact position and the intercuspal position of 20 patients were compared with their interocclusal distances and their gonial angles. A highly significant negative correlation between interocclusal distances and the differences between retrusive contact and intercuspal positions could be demonstrated. A positive correlation was also found between the gonial angles and the differences between retrusive contact an intercuspal positions. A negative correlation between gonial angles and interoclusal distances could also be demonstrated.
