The paper proposes a terminology for describing the growth rotation of the mandible. Distinction is made between rotation (of a rigid body) and angular change (of a reference line). The terms true rotation and apparent rotation of the mandible are defined, and the term angular remodelling is introduced to describe the angular measure of the remodelling of the mandibular border.
