Abstract

Objective: To establish cephalometric norms (skeletal and dental) for Coastal Odisha population of India and to compare it with other Caucasian norms.
Materials and Methods: The Lateral cephalograms of 60 children of 9-16 year age group with normal occlusion and pleasant profile were taken and cephalometric norms were established using Down’s, Steiner’s, Tweeds, Wits, Bjork, Jarabak, McNamara, Ricketts and Schwarz analysis.
Results and Conclusion: The study concluded that Overall dimension of cranial base, maxilla and mandible are smaller in Coastal Odia children than that of Caucasians. Odia children are having more proclined upper and lower incisors and smaller upper and lower dental height in anterior and posterior region, steeper mandibular plane angle, greater upper and lower lip prominence but lesser upper lip thickness and strain than Caucasian population.
