Abstract
1. 1. Roentgenographic cephalostatic head films would appear to be of value for the determination of hereditary influences in the development of the face. They have unquestionable value in the determination of resemblances of children to their parents. 2. 2. Superimposed head films would appear to have value in any study of human inheritance. 3. 3. It appears to be possible to predetermine the adult face in most children by the superimposition of cephalostatic head films of children and their parents. 4. 4. Future head films of the children used in this study as they mature should confirm or disprove the deductions made in this paper. 5. 5. Predetermination of the adult face appears to be the “missing link” in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
