The geometric relationship of the functional occlusal plane to the center of the glenoid fossa, as seen in the sagittal view, is described for males and females from age 7 through 25 years. This relationship is fully described by the distance from the geometric center of the glenoid fossa perpendicular to the functional occlusal plane (L, in millimeters) and its angulation (theta, in degrees) relative to a constructed Frankfort horizontal (SN-7 degrees ). Regression formulas with 95% confidence levels are described for L and theta for both genders combined. The differences between genders were found to be statistically insignificant. No correlation was found between these dimensions relative to the presence of temporomandibular joint dysfunction symptoms. A statistically significant difference in both L and theta was found in males who exhibited a Class III relationship compared with males exhibiting a Class II relationship.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D003766 Dental Occlusion The relationship of all the components of the masticatory system in normal function. It has special reference to the position and contact of the maxillary and mandibular teeth for the highest efficiency during the excursive movements of the jaw that are essential for mastication.
