Abstract

The effect on craniofacial growth after repeated papain administrations was studied in young mice. The length of the upper face and lower face were both seriously affected whereas the length of the neurocranium, the anterior height of the upper and lower face were moderately affected.

The posterior height of the upper face and the height of the neurocranium were not influenced by papain injections.
