Abstract :

Aim: To assess the correlation of Mandibular Symphysis (MS) morphology and dimensions with craniofacial parameters in different types of skeletal malocclusion in Himachal population. Materials and Methods: One hundred and forty lateral cephalograms (70 females and 70 males with mean ages of 22.3 ± 2.9 years and 22.5 ± 2.6 years,respectively) of subjects with Class I, Class II, and Class III skeletal relationships were traced. The craniofacial and mandibular symphysis parameters were measured using Autocad software. Statistical Analysis: All mandibular symphysis parameters were compared between the three groups using independent t–test and were correlated with the craniofacial parameters using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Mandibular symphysis dimensions and area were found to be larger in Class III skeletal relationship compared to Class I and Class II; concavity angle of the chin, inclination of the alveolar part of the mandibular symphysis toward the mandibular plane were also found to be larger in Class III group. Conclusions: The concavity angle, the vertical dimension, the inclination of alveolar part of mandibular symphysis was more in the Skeletal Class III pattern. So, the dimensions and morphology of Mandibular symphysis in the Class III relationship were different than those in Class I and Class II relationships
