Abstract
ABSTRACTIntroductionAn accurate evaluation of sagittal jaw relationship is important in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Numerous angular and linear measurements have been incorporated to assess anteroposterior jaw discrepancy between maxilla and mandible so as to reach the correct diagnosis. So the purpose of this study is to compare Beta angle and YEN angle used to measure anteroposterior dysplasia and to find which is the most reliable between them.Materials and MethodsThe sample comprised 26 pretreatment lateral cephalograms of Skeletal class II patients.ResultsDescriptive analysis was performed and highly significant values were found with both Beta angle and YEN angle.ConclusionBeta and YEN angles are significant ones to assess the sagittal jaw relationship between maxilla and mandible.How to cite this articleGupta PK, Karandikar GR, Ravindranath VK, Sonawane M, Patni VJ.
