Aim:
The present research aims to assess the nasal morphology within various Sagittal skeletal growth patterns like Classes I, II and III.
Material And Method:
The present research assesses various nasal parameters within equally distributed 150 lateral cephalograms having Skeletal Classes I, II, and III by manual tracing. The study identified differences in nasal morphology across different skeletal classes.
Result:
Naso-facial angle and Profile angle were greater in Class II cases, whereas Naso-mental angle was greater in Class III cases.
Conclusion:
Nasal morphology must be considered for accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and facial reconstruction.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
