Abstrakt: An analysis of past experimental and clinical studies on orthopedic changes of craniofacial bones is presented. The theoretical aspects and technical improvements necessary for relating biomechanical principles to attain the desired alterations in craniofacial morphology are discussed. A critical evaluation of the past measurements and histologic techniques is also presented. Suggestions are given for directions to future research methodology which can offer reliable results.
