Abstract
Background: Cephalometric techniques are now used routinely not only by orthodontist but also by maxillofacial and plastic surgeons while performing orthognathic surgical and cosmetic procedures. The ANB angle is frequently used in the assessment of anteroposterior upper and lower jaws relationships. Hence; the present study was undertaken for assessing ANB angle in Rajasthan population. Materials and methods: A total of 200 subjects who came for routine dental check-up were enrolled. Complete demographic details of all the subjects were obtained. Performa was made and complete medical history of all the subjects was recorded. Radiographs were taken in all the subjects and Cephalometric analysis was carried out. Patients with history of any other systemic illness, presence of any bone metabolic disorder of any osseous deformity were excluded from the present study. Results: Overall, mean ANB angle was found to be 2.6. Among males and females, mean ANB angle was found to be 2.9 and 2.4 respectively. Although non-significant, ANB angle was slightly higher among males. Conclusion: During cephalometric assessment of the sagittal relationship between the maxilla and mandible, clinicians should consider evaluating ANB angle.
