Abstract

Introduction: In the field of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, in-depth knowledge of incisor inclination & dentoalveolar height in different facial growth patterns is essential to reach ideal treatment for every patient.

Objectives: Assess and compare anterior and posterior dentoalveolar height and incisor inclination in maxilla and mandible in different facial growth pattern in vertical plane.

Materials and Methods: In this study, lateral cephalogram of total 90 patients were traced. The sample was divided into horizontal, average and vertical growth pattern based on Jarabak’s ratio. The maxillary and mandibular incisor inclination and dentoalveolar height of anterior and posterior region were evaluated and analysed statistically.

Results: This study revealed that incisor inclination and dentoalveolar height showed statistically significant difference among different growth patterns. Incisor inclination and anterior dentoalveolar height in maxilla and mandible were increased in vertical growth pattern. Posterior dentoalveolar heights were also more in maxilla and mandible but the result was not statistically significant.

Conclusion: This study showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between incisor inclination, dentoalveolar height and facial growth pattern of an individual.

Keywords: Facial growth patterns, Incisor inclination, Dentoalveolar height, Jarabak’s ratio.
