[Cephalometric postural parameters and dental malocclusion]. / Parametri posturali cefalometrici e malocclusioni dentarie.

The role of the cephalometric analysis in the diagnosis of the posture in the orthodontic patient results from the analysis on 204 cases with different types of malocclusion. Four parameters cranio-cervicals are used and the results are a very large frequency of anterior posture of the head and neck, especially in Class II skeletal and in the dolicofacial type. The importance of this analysis is evident for the treatment approach.
