  • Title: Cephalometric evaluation of patients with anterior open-bite.
    Author: Stuani AS, Matsumoto MA, Stuani MB.
    Journal: Braz Dent J; 2000; 11(1):35-40. PubMed ID: 11210273.
    Abstract:
    Cephalometric evaluations of the skeletal pattern of 30 patients with anterior open-bite malocclusion were compared to those of 30 individuals with a normal overbite. The posterior/anterior face height ratio (PFH/AFH) was the only skeletal characteristic statistically different in the two groups. The other cephalometric measurements were not found to be statistically different in the malocclusion and normal overbite groups (SN-GoGn, SN-PP, gonial angle, LFH/AFH ratio), indicating that there is no skeletal origin in the group with anterior open-bite in this study.
