Cervical vertebrae morphology in skeletal class Ⅱ and class Ⅰ malocclusion patients / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:The incidence rate of cervical abnormalities of the patients with skeletal class Ⅱ and normal occlusion has been studied abroad, but the researches on the incidence of cervical abnormalities in different malocclusion patients is rare at home. OBJECTIVE:To observe the imaging of patients with cervical abnormalities and to statistics the incidence of cervical abnormalities in different malocclusion patients through analyzing the lateral cephalogram of different malocclusion patients. METHODS:Skeletal class Ⅱ group was consisted of 93 patients, 41 male (aged 18-40 years) and 52 female (aged 22-35 years), with the A point-nasion-B point angle>5°. Class Ⅰ group was consisted of 45 patients, 31 female (aged 20-36 years) and 14 male (aged 17-38 years), with the 1°
