✦ Synopsis

The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether forces applied to a macerated human skull would result in either permanent or temporary changes.

A cast metal splint was attached to the upper mixed dentition of a macerated human skull (dental age about 10 yr), through which tensile forces were applied to the maxilla. The
