Presence or absence of third molars was determined using ortopantomographs. Cephalometric analysis was carried out from lateral teleradiographs, which included linear, angular, and proportional measurements. When data obtained were distributed normally it was analyzed by means of single-factor variance analysis and the Scheff\u00e9 test (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .05). When data did not show normality, the Kruskal-Wallis test (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .05) and the Mann-Whitney test were applied using Bonferroni correction (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .017). Multivariance discrimination analysis was also carried out.<\/jats:p>\n        <jats:p>\n          <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Values obtained for the mandibular plain of Groups 1 and 2 were significantly lower than those of the Control Group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =.00 and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =.00, respectively). For Group 2 lower face height was significantly less than for the control group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =.01), whilst the mandibular arch and the articular angle were significantly greater than in the Control Group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =.000 and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .02, respectively). Multivariance discrimination analysis obtained a correct classification in 58.8% of cases.<\/jats:p>\n        <jats:p>\n          <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> The hypothesis is rejected. Agenesis of the maxillary third molars was related to a reduced mandibular plane angle. Patients with agenesis of the mandibular third molars showed a diminished lower third and a mandibular morphology characteristic of the brachyfacial pattern.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2319\/052008-276.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,23]],"date-time":"2008-10-23T17:03:12Z","timestamp":1224781392000},"page":"473-478","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Third Molar Agenesis and Craniofacial Morphology"],"prefix":"10.2319","volume":"79","author":[{"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9","family":"S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"a\u2009PhD student, Docent Unit of Orthodontics, Dental Clinic, University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ascensi\u00f3n","family":"Vicente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"b\u2009Contracted Doctor, Docent Unit of Orthodontics, Dental Clinic, University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luis Alberto","family":"Bravo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"c\u2009Senior Lecturer, Docent Unit of Orthodontics, Dental Clinic, University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1164","reference":[{"key":"i0003-3219-079-03-0473-b1","article-title":"Gen\u00e9tica craneofacial.","author":"Salinas, C.
