Assessing Cervical Spine Curvature in Skeletal Malocclusion using a Modified Cephalometric Angle
Abstract: This study investigates the relationship between and skeletal malocclusion using a modified cephalometric angle. A total of 215 subjects were categorized into skeletal Class I, Class II, and Class III malocclusions. Lateral cephalograms were were traced manually, and a cervical angle was measured between the cranial base and cervical vertebrae. Results showed Class II patients had reduced cervical curvature, while Class III showed increased lordosis. A statistically significant correlation was found between the cervical spine posture and skeletal malocclusion These findings underscore the clinical value of incorporating cervical posture analysis into orthodontic assessment and treatment planning.
Keywords: Cervical spine curvature, cephalometric analysis, skeletal malocclusion, cranio-cervical posture, orthodontic diagnosis
