Normal and abnormal craniofacial growth. Some experimental and clinical considerations.
An overview of the biology of the craniofacial complex in terms of normal and abnormal growth and remodeling. The synchronous coordination of skeletal growth in harmony with related structures demonstrate some principles which could be of value in clinical prevention and treatment.
