EVALUATION OF DENTOALVEOLAR COMPENSATION IN DIFFERENT SKELETAL MALOCCLUSIONS IN BENGALEE POPULATION- A CEPHALOMETRIC STUDY

Abstract

Introduction: Humans have been aware of facial esthetics from prehistoric times. An 'esthetically pleasing face' is described as one in which various facial features are well proportioned and balanced from both 'frontal and prole' view. Evaluating the face in prole is an integral part of a complete orthodontic diagnosis. The labiolingual inclination and anteroposterior (AP) position of maxillary incisors have a crucial effect on the appearance of the smiling prole. Aims: To evaluate and compare dentoalveolar compensations in various skeletal malocclusions. The Cross sectional study Materials and methods: , this Study was conducted from January 2018 to June 2019 at Guru Nanak Institute of Dental Sciences and Research, panihati, Kolkata- 7 00114. 120 patients were taken in our study. Result: In the present study mandibular central incisor to SN shows statistically signicant difference in mean value when intergroup comparison were made between control group with group-II, and group-III, between group- Mandibular incisors are proclined labially in skeletal class- II malocclusion, while mandibular incisors were found upright or retroclined in skeletal class-III malocclusion. In Group-II (skeletal Conclusion: Class- II malocclusion) upper incisors are proclined in the upper jaw, and lower incisor proclined in lower jaw.
