A research on the relationship between anticipating the direction of mandible growth and symphysis morphology
The study's purpose was to estimate the value of symphysis morphology as a standard for anticipating direction of mandibular growth. 160 patients were sampled (80 f/80 m) and formed 8 groups based on gender,age and growth spurt. Mandibular growth direction was evaluated via 6 cephalometric ind...

| Summary: | The study's purpose was to estimate the value
of symphysis morphology as a standard for anticipating direction of mandibular
growth. 160 patients were sampled (80 f/80 m) and formed 8 groups based on
gender,age and growth spurt. Mandibular growth direction was evaluated via 6
cephalometric indices: Mandibular Arc angeles, Lower facial Height, Facial Axis
, Facial Angle ,Facial Taper and Mandibular Plane. Height, depth and their
ratio and angle of symphisis were measured. The highest relation found among
13-16 yrs females as well as +20yrs males. Symphysis angle showed the highest
relation in male patients. In 9-12 yrs females and 10-14 male patients in which
anticipating the growth is highly needed, the relationship between symphysis
morphology and mandibular groth indices was not significant.
