[The orthodontic findings in patients with unilateral Angle Class II]

In this study the original orthodontic documentation of 23 patients (twelve girls and eleven boys, average age 12.7 years) with one side Angle class II subdivision were analyzed. Computer assisted measurements were obtained from dental models and from posteroanterior and lateral oblique cephalometric radiographs of each patient. This results of this research indicate that the asymmetric occlusion was caused by dental as well as by skeletal components. In addition to an asymmetric position of the upper first molars, a lateral position of the whole mandible was established.
