CEPHALOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF ANTERIOR DEEPBITE PATIENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate skeletal and dentoalveolar features in patients with deep bite malocclusion. Subjects and methods: Lateral cephalograms of deep bite (n=84) subjects were used to evaluate skeletal and dentoalveolar variables. Results: 53 subjects (63,1%) had Class II skeletal malocclusion. Gonial angle decreased (119,5°±7,1), maxillary plane angle increased (9,7°±4,1), ratio UAFH/LAFH (0,82±0,08) and PFH/AFH (67,4%±5,7) increased. Conclusion: Reduced gonial angle and the clockwise rotation of maxilla were dominant features of deep bite malocclusion. Facial profile of patients with deep bite malocclusion was not harmonious.
