[Evaluation of skeletal structures in individuals with malocclusion].

Abstract

This study was performed on 50 female and 45 male subjects with orthodontic malocclusions. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between sagittal and vertical growth patterns of the cranio-facial complex. The sample was divided into six groups, (class I, II, III type and neutral, deep and open type) according to the ANB angle and Jarabak rate. As a result, the anterior and posterior facial heights were significantly smaller in the girls than in the boys. The relationship between the sagittal jaw interrelation and different vertical growth patterns of the face was not significant. It has also found that the discrepancy of the sagittal jaw relation was mainly caused by protrusive or retrusive position of the mandible relative to the cranial base.
