      Nurse has confirmed it had extensively regressed… Really need help understanding regression. Please help? 

      My questions are: 

      If regressed over 75% (I don't know I'm just guessing) could this mean it was at max depth of 1.6mm as what was left was 0.4mm? Just trying to do maths. 

      Would regression hide factors such as mitotic rate/ Clark level/ maybe vertical growth phase? 

      i know I shouldn't but Google is making me miserable all I read is how extensive regression is bad… I used to concentrate a lot on the other positives. But now I feel knowing it has extensively regressed has all of the other things been put into question and not accurate..

      I have found it, I actually emailed the author who wrote this mr Robero (yes I know I'm trying my best for info!) but he explained that the study was primarily focused on partial regression so the extensive regression I am still looking for answers unfortunately…. ๐Ÿ™

      Thanks for the response, however, when clicking on link it asks me for a password. Could you let me know what it says? 

      Thanks again
