Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of complete ponticulus posticus in Indian orthodontic patients. The presence and types of ponticuli posticus were investigated on 858 lateral cephalograms. Complete ponticulus posticus was found in 4.3% of the subjects studied with a male (5.33%) predominance over female in the population (3.76%). Ponticulus posticus is not a rare anomaly and the patient must be told of the implications and importance of detecting ponticulus posticus on a lateral cephalogram. This information can prove beneficial for the diagnosis of head and neck symptoms later.
