Abstract:
Numerous cephalometric studies have been conducted to assess the features of class II division 2 malocclusions since the release of Angle's description of malocclusion types; nonetheless, disagreements persist. Therefore, it is of interest to examine the cephalometric features of Class II/2 malocclusions in patients aged 8 to 24 at Burdwan Dental College and Hospital, given that a significant proportion of patients, including adults seeking orthodontic treatment, have this malocclusion. Each lateral cephalogram was traced both digitally and manually using the Nemo Ceph Software System. Thirty-six dental and skeletal parameters were measured; thirty class II Division 2 participants (15 girls and 15 boys) and thirty subjects with normal occlusion were chosen and clinically assessed.

In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
01:27Cranial 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...
01:14Cranial 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,...
01:22Sutures 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...
