Description

The aim of the study was to establish cephalometric standards in adult Maharashtra population. The present study included 100 males (age between 18-25 years) and 100 females (age between 18-25years).All individuals included in the study were residing in Maharashtra since their three to four generations. All subjects had class I malocclusion and normal growth and development. Maxillary and Mandibular arches were well aligned in all participants. Bony landmark used were Nasion(N), Sella(S), Gonion(Go), Pogonion(Po), Gnathion (Gn), Articulare(Ar) and Menton(Me). With the help of these landmarks, Anterior facial height (AFH), Posterior facial height (PFH), Anterior cranial base (ACB), Posterior Cranial Base (PCB), Facial angle, Saddle angle and Facial height ratio (FHR) were studied. The present study showed significant difference in gender dimorphism.
