| Popis: | Objective: The influence of craniofacial morphology on the variation of the depth of curve of Spee includes multiple factors. This plays an important role in the leveling of the curve which is required for retention of achieved results. The study evaluates relationship between the varying depths of curve of Spee and dentoskeletal features. Materials and methods: 120 diagnostic casts and lateral head cephalograms of selected subjects on the basis of depths of curve of Spee as measured on the mandibular casts were selected. The subjects were divided into three Groups (Group-I- 0-2 mm, Group -II >2-4 mm and Group-III >4 mm of curve of Spee), and further into subgroups according to sex. Cephalometric and study cast variables were measured and subjected to statistical analysis with curve of Spee as the dependent variable and others as independent variables. Results: SNB, APDI, OM, Md5 - MP (mm), OJ and mandibular arch length were negatively correlated and ANB, Md6 to MP, ODI, overbite and overjet were positively correlated with depth of curve of Spee in both males and females. Conclusion: The curve of Spee is related to various dentoskeletal variables. Thus, the determination of this relationship is useful to assess the feasibility of leveling the curve of Spee by orthodontic treatment. |
