periodontium during and following orthodontic therapy.
The patients were examined for the first 9 month period by
Dr. Stuart Sears and Dr. Sergio Tejedor-Leon.
Relocation of two families reduced the number of patients to twenty
which were examined for the second 9 nonth period by Dr. Robert E. Roe
and Dr. Robert P. Rubins. [TRUNCATED]
