[Compensatory alveolar inclinations in sagittal dysharmonies of the skeletal base]. / Inclinaisons alvéolaires compensatrices des dysharmonies sagittales des bases squelettiques.

544 cases analysis have shown that the sagittal maxillo-mandibular discrepancies happens to be a very frequent problem in orthodontics. They are often compensated by dento-alveolar inclinations, when no muscular disorder, functional or constitutional, exists. The basal discrepancies modify the direction of dental inclinations. It is the normal action of the musculature which determines the correctional inclination that must be respected. We have to use light therapeutic methods and respect these natural dental movements.
