A cephalometric comparison between Angle Class II, division 2 malocclusion and normal occlusion in adults

H Fischer-Brandies, E Fischer-Brandies and A Konig

The lateral cephalometric radiographs of 56 adults with Angle Class II/2 malocclusion and of 81 persons with normal Class I occlusion are compared. The statistical analysis includes the calculation of the mean value, standard deviation and the determination of differences (Wilcoxon rank-test). Group characteristics are tested by stepwise discriminant analysis. The following statements regarding Angle Class II/2 as compared with normal Class I result from this study. The upper incisors are in a retruded position. The B-point is significantly retropositioned, whereas the pogonion is in a more normal position. The length of the mandibular corpus and the total length of the mandible are slightly diminished only. Normal values result for the size and position of the maxilla, the inclination of the mandibular corpus (angle between mandibular plane and NSe) and the gonion angle.
