title: [A comparative study of skeletal cephalometric of normal occlusion between the middle-old-aged and young people].
abstract: In this study the skeletal cephalometric data of normal occlusion between 39 middle-old-aged people and 30 young people were compared. The results indicated: the growth and reconstruction of the skeletal tissues of skull and jaws and face could still maintain for a period of time after grown-up. It mainly showed that skeletal tissues increased in vertical direction, the declination of occlusion plane became flat along with the increasing of ages.
