“Evaluation of Correlation of the Cephalometric Measurements with Mandibular Crowding: A Cephalometric Study”
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Crowding is the one of the most common problems motivating the patient to seek orthodontic treatment. Only few studies are available on the evaluation of the cephalometrics with mandibular crowding in the same population. The objective of this study was to compare cephalometric measurements in permanent dentition. Material and methods:It was conducted on the dental casts and lateral cephalograms of 100 subjects (40 males and 60 females) between 16 years to 25 years of age, who were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of mandibular crowding (50 crowed and 50 non crowed). The crowded sample included those in which dental crowding of more than 1 mm was present and noncrowded sample had tooth size-arch length discrepancy between +1 to-1mm. Conclusion: We found statistically significant inverse correlation between mandibular crowding, effective length of mandible, and lower incisor inclination, however no correlation was found between anterior cranial base length and effective length of maxilla with the degree of mandibular crowding. We conclude that dental crowding is a multifactorial dynamic process that may be influenced by various dental and paradental factors.
