Sažetak

Actuality of gnathometric measurements by means of plaster casts persisting to the present days is stressed and the major research of the kind in twins mentioned. The study included 96 pairs of twins of both sexes (36 monozygotic and 60 dizygotic). Both qualitative and quantitative variables were evaluated and the results computer-processed. For most parameters evaluated, statistical processing revealed a markedly higher compatibility in monozygotes than in dizygotes. This held particularly true for types and severity of anomalies as well as for all qualitative variables, with the exception of over bite, overjet, class and class severity. The maxilla-related variables were shown to be highly genetically determined, which might be explained by the dynamics of manidbular movements andpossibly, a stronger effect of external factors on its growth and development.
