Abstract :

Objective: 1.The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between posterior dentoalveolar height and anterior craniofacial height in Navi–Mumbai population. 2. To evaluate the relationship between posterior dentoalveolar height and anterior craniofacial height among average, horizontal and vertical growth pattern individuals by using multiple regression analysis. Materials and Method: The study was conducted by using pre–treatment lateral cephalograms of 75 patients. Age of patients was 15–25 yrs. Tracing of the cephalogram was done for identification of the landmarks 3 angular, 3 linear and 5 vertical parameter that is total 11skeletal parameter were correlated with maxillary molar dentoalveolar height (MxMDH) and mandibular molar dentoalveolar height (MdMDH). Result: MxMDH and MdMDH were found positively correlated with lower anterior facial height. MdMDH was more positively correlated with lower facial height than MxMDH. There was positive correlation between Chorological age and MdMDH. Conclusion: Increase or decrease of lower anterior facial height directly depends on posterior molar dentoalveolar height. Lower anterior facial height was more dependent on MdMDH than MxMDH. Chronological age positively influenced MdMDH.
