Cephalometric characteristics of Class II division 1 Malocclusion in a Population Living in the Chitwan District of Nepal
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Class II Division 1 malocclusion is where the maxillary teeth are proclined and the molars are in distoocclusion. In this study I have described and compared the dentoskeletal characteristics cephalometrically associated with Angle’s Class II Division 1 malocclusion in a population living in Chitwan district of Nepal Materials and methods: 20 lateral cephalograms of children(10 males and 10 females) in the age range of 7-13 years from local schools of Chitwan with Class II, division 1 malocclusion were analyzed. Age range of the representing children was 7 – 13 years. Results: The maxilla was prognathic in relation to anterior cranial base in Class II Division 1 patyients. Maxillary and mandibular incisors were proclined. Between the two groups, the cranial base angle was same. There was a significant reduction in interincisal angle. Conclusion: In the Chitwan region of Nepal, Class II division 1 malocclusion has specific characteristics. Steiner’s norms are not same for all the populations, that is why the subjects are treated taking into account their ethnicity and in relation to their macroesthetic fundamentals. Cephalometric Steiner’s norms for skeletal Class II were analyzed that showed the presence of prognathic maxilla, maxillary and mandibular dental proclination and a reduced interincisal angle.
