Journal of the Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry. 2001 Dec; 19(4): 127-33http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/114606Studying malocclusion during active growth period is important because this period has the maximum impact on dentofacial structures. The present study comprises of computerised cephalometric evaluation of 100 North Indian children in the age group of 9-12 years, with 50 children in normal occlusion group. The samples were segregated according to sex with 25 females and 25 males in each group. It was concluded from the study that changes or deviations in SNB, Saddle, Articular and Gonial angles are the potential indicative factors in the development of a class II malocclusion and that class II pattern is associated with short and posteriorly placed mandible in relation to the cranial base.engAge FactorsCephalometryChildDentition, MixedFemaleHumansLogistic ModelsMaleMalocclusion, Angle Class II --pathologyMandible --anatomy & histologyMaxillofacial DevelopmentOdds RatioReference ValuesSkull Base --anatomy & histologyJournal Article
