Implication

Cross-sectional study evaluates posture and malocclusion patterns in adolescents, suggesting phenotypic implications.

Key Points

  • This research investigates how craniocervical posture relates to different skeletal malocclusion patterns in adolescents.
  • Included 80 adolescents aged 10–15 years with various skeletal classes.
  • Assessed postural parameters through digital photographs in Natural Head Position.
  • Determined skeletal classification from lateral cephalometric radiographs.
  • Performed intergroup comparisons using the Kruskal–Wallis test and correlation analyses.
  • No significant differences in posture among skeletal malocclusion classes.
  • SHA showed weak negative correlations with SNA° and SNB°, and a weak positive correlation with Occlusal Plane/SN°.
  • Strong negative correlations for SHA with SNA° and SNB° were found specifically in the Class II Division 2 group.
