Overview

This retrospective study evaluates the association of craniocervical posture and skeletal relationships in adolescents, suggesting implications for orthodontic treatment.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the link between craniocervical posture and skeletal relationship in adolescents.
  • Retrospective analysis of 153 digital lateral radiographs of adolescents aged 13 to 17
  • Classified skeletal relationships into sagittal (Class I, II, III) and vertical (normodivergent, hypodivergent, hyperdivergent)
  • Analyzed craniocervical posture using Solow and Rocabado parameters
  • Employed multiple linear regression to assess associations between posture and skeletal relationships
  • Found significant associations between craniocervical posture parameters and sagittal/vertical skeletal relationships (p ≤ 0.037)
  • Class III adolescents showed trends towards cervical flexion, while Class II exhibited cervical extension across vertical relationships
  • Significant correlations with ANB angle (R2 = 33.3%, p < 0.001) and NSL-OP angle (R2 = 61.8%, p < 0.001)
