Abstract :

 Introduction : Studying the relationship during the growth process of  maxillo–facial and dentoalveolar structures would be useful in enhancing the accuracy of prediction of maturational changes. There are few studies examining relationship between overjet and dentoalveolar  and skeletal morphology of jaws and effect of gender on this relationship.    Therefore the purpose  of the present study was to evaluate dentoalveolar and morphological changes in maxilla and mandible with different overjets. Materials & Method: 120 subjects(60males&60females) were selected for the study.  Subjects were divided into three groups of 40 each based on overjet. On lateral cephalograms various cephalometric points, planes, linear and area measurements were used in this study to evaluate the morphology of mandible and maxilla in different overjet groups. Result and Conclusion: MxAABH (Maxillary dentoalveolar height) between the overjets showed significantly different and higher MxAABH at extreme overjet as compared to both normal and increased overjects in both the genders. MxPABH between the overjets showed lowered value significantly at both increased and extreme overjets in females. Cd–Gn (Mandibular length) and Cd–Go  (ramal length) were lowered at extreme overjet in both males and females. Correlation were found significant for both males and females , MxAABH showed positive correlation  and Cd–Gn and SD(only for females) showed negative correlation.
