The relation between overbite and facial, maxillary and mandibular dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
Background: Overbite value is important in treatment of various malocclusions; the aim of this study was to investigate the relation between the overbite and facial, maxillary and mandibular dimensions. Materials and methods: The sample of this study included 80 pre-treatment digital true lateral cephalometric radiographs of Iraqi subjects aged 18-25 years, collected from the files of the subjects attending the Orthodontic Department in the College of Dentistry, University of Baghdad. The 80 radiographs were divided into four groups (20 radiographs each) according to overbite value. Three angular, fifteen linear measurements and two ratios were
