title: Mandibular rotation and lower face height indicators.
abstract: Lower face height indicators and mandibular rotation are assessed at 7 and 12 years of age in a sample of 46 children, comparing the corpus axis and mandibular plane as indicators of change in mandibular position. The parameters involving the mandibular plane consistently show higher correlations.
