Abstract
Objectives: Comparative evaluation of facial harmony in Class I and II malocclusion using patients frontal cephalogram and photograph. Materials and methods: Frontal photographs and frontal cephalogram of 94 subjects (25 males and 69 females) with Class I and II malocclusion, between the age group of 13 to 25 years, were obtained. Values were statistically analyzed to assess the facial harmony in the patients. Results: The various facial parameters of horizontal plane, mandibular morphology, linear measurements, maxillomandibular relation using Grummons analysis and photographic analysis including facial width, gonial width and gonial angle on right and left side were compared. The study showed mild asymmetry of face in Class I and II subjects with larger right side than on the left side. Conclusion: All subjects showed mild skeletal asymmetry with consistent right side dominance. Present study clearly indicated that asymmetries are much higher in subjects with malocclusion which demands the attention during the diagnosis and treatment planning in patients with facial asymmetries.
