Abstract
In order to make things easily understandable I will use the following terms in the discussion of the subject. I will talk about the mandible meaning the whole lower jaw and about the maxilla,the upper jaw. From my point of view the chin has to be evaluated separately, as do the zygomatic bones (zygoma) or the nasal framework (nose) or the frontal bone.
