SUMMARY |
|
| Analysis of vertical factors in the facial skeleton is important in understanding craniofacial morphology. We
measured the maxillofacial complex and occlusal plane on standardized lateral cephalograms of 239 male students and analyzed the
potential relationship of these measurements with the mandibular plane angle. The ANB and OM angles were compiled for each 5 degree increment
in FMA between 15 and 45 degrees. A larger mandibular plane angle was associated with a larger OM angle. No correlation was found between
the mandibular plane angle and ANB angle. (J Osaka Dent Univ 2007 ; 41 : 111-113)
