Relationship between extended head posture and malocclusion
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim To evaluate effects of extended head posture on dental and skeletal malocclusionsMaterials and Methods Lateral cephalograms and study models of 60 patients were divided into two groups group I n30 with extended head posture NSLCVT angle gt 106 and group II n30 without extended head posture NSLCVT angle less than 106 Variables which are important were studied and comparedResults Patients in group I showed significantly more class II skeletal relationship with increased proclination in upper and lower anteriors than that in group II Subjects in group I showed more vertical growth pattern with increased overjet and overbite than that in group II Also significantly more number subjects in group I showed crowding than that in group IIConclusion Patients with extended head posture showed class II skeletal malocclusion and a vertical growth pattern as compared to patients with normal head posture There was statistically significant correlation of crowding with extended head posture as compared to that in patients with normal head posture Overjet and overbite was found to be significantly more in patients with extended head posture as compared to that in patients with normal head posture Upper and lower incisal proclination was also found to be significantly more in patients with extended head posture as compared to that in patients with normal head postureKeywords Extended head posture Head poster Malocclusion Class 2nbsp
