Morphological characteristics of mandibular symphysis in different types of vertical malocclusions

Abstract

Introduction: Regular or irregular vertical development of the facial skeleton is connected to multiple skeletal groups: nasomaxillary complex, alveolar processes and mandible. There is a significant correlation between the incisal rates and maxillary and mandibular dentoalveolar height, symphysis size, maxillary and mandibular surface. Also, a connection exists between the size of the mandibular symphysis, the chin and the vertical dimension and morphological and dentoalveolar structure of both jaw systems. Determination of this connection can be useful in predicting the treatment success in overbite problems.
