  • Title: Stability of mandibular intercuspid width after long periods of retention.
    Author: Herberger RJ.
    Journal: Angle Orthod; 1981 Jan; 51(1):78-83. PubMed ID: 6939356.
    Abstract:
    This is a long-term study of treated cases, with observation periods averaging more than 12 years. Final observations were 4 to 6 years out of all retention. All cases showed a postretention reduction in intercuspid width regardless of whether that width was increased in the course of treatment, but a significant part of therapeutic increases remained.
