Evaluation of morphology and position of glenoid fossa in Class I and Class II malocclusions- A cephalometric study
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim: To analyse glenoid fossa position in Class I, II (div 1 and 2) malocclusions and to analyse variation in the shape of the glenoid fossa in different mandibular configurations. Materials and Methods: The cephalometric study was carried on lateral films of 45 subjects aged 12 - 18 years. They were divided into three groups based on the ANB angle (and anterior occlusal relation) and also based on the mandibular plane angle. Analysis comprised of linear and angular measurements for the assessment of the position of the glenoid fossa and the inclination of articulating surface of the glenoid fossa, which was also correlated with the mandibular configuration.
