“…A strong correlation has been established between hypertrophied inferior turbinates, hypoplastic maxilla and mandible, as well as a steep occlusal plane. Our fi ndings correlate with other studies evaluating the morphology of mouth breathing and nasally obstructed patients (6,(21)(22)(23).…”

“…The vertical pattern plays a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment planning in both orthodontic growing and adult patients (Opdebeeck and Bell, 1978;Schendel et al, 1976). The development of vertical pattern has been related to several factors, like the growth of jaws, dentoalveolar development, eruption of the teeth, and function of the tongue and lips (Nielsen, 1991).…”

“…Those with a hypo-divergent growth pattern have reduced vertical growth which is typically associated with short face, deep anterior overbite, increased posterior to anterior facial height ratio, decreased lower facial height and reduced sella-nasion (SN)/mandibular plane (MP) angle (SN-MP) angle (Opdebeeck and Bell, 1978). The hyper-divergent growth pattern have increased vertical growth with long face, anterior open bite, decreased posterior to anterior facial height ratio, increased lower facial height and increased SN-MP angle (Schendel et al, 1976). Normo-divergent growth pattern lies between these two types.…”

The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the soft tissue chin thickness values among adult patients with different vertical growth patterns. A sample size of 180 adults patients (32 males and 148 females), with an average age of 21.42 years (range 17-32 years), was selected. The sample was divided into three groups according to the vertical growth pattern using SNMP angle (hypodivergent <27°, normodivergent 27-37° and hyperdivergent >37°). The soft tissue chin thicknesses in each group were measured at pogonion (Pog), gnathion (Gn), and menton (Me) and analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance and post-hoc Tukey test. The soft tissue chin thickness values were greater in hypodivergent group at Pog (12.71±2.10 mm), Gn (9.72 ± 2.55 mm) and Me (9.13 ± 2.88 mm) and smallest in hyperdivergent group (Pog 8.05 ±1.20 mm, Gn 6.07±1.47 mm, Me 5.91±1.21 mm). The soft tissue chin thicknesses were greater in men than women. Soft tissue chin thickness was greater in hypodivergent adults than those of normodivergent and hyperdivergent adults. In all the three groups, soft tissue thickness values were greater in men than women.

“…1 The terms "deep skeletal overbite" and "skeletal open bite" have been put forward to refer to vertical discrepancies. 2 Other authors have used the terms "long face syndrome" 3 and "short face syndrome" 4 to collectively describe characteristics occurring in patients with excessive vertical alterations.…”

Association between overbite and craniofacial growth pattern

The purpose of the present study was to assess the association between overbite and craniofacial growth pattern. The sample comprised eighty-six cephalograms obtained during the orthodontic pretreatment phase and analyzed using the Radiocef program to identify the craniofacial landmarks and perform orthodontic measurements. The variables utilized were overbite, the Jarabak percentage and the Vert index, as well as classifications resulting from the interpretation of these measurements. In all the statistical tests, a significance level of 5% was considered. Measurement reliability was checked by calculating method error. Weighted Kappa analysis showed that agreement between the facial types defined by the Vert index and the direction of growth trend established by the Jarabak percentage was not satisfactory. Owing to this lack of equivalency, a potential association between overbite and craniofacial growth pattern was evaluated using the chi-square test, considering the two methods separately. No relationship of dependence between overbite and craniofacial growth pattern was revealed by the results obtained. Therefore, it can be concluded that the classification of facial growth pattern will not be the same when considering the Jarabak and the Ricketts analyses, and that increased overbite cannot be associated with a braquifacial growth pattern, nor can openbite be associated with a dolichofacial growth pattern.
