Background: Disproportions and malposition of the structures often lead to malocclusions or facial deformities. In orthodontics, knowledge of mandibular growth is highly beneficial in diagnosis and treatment planning and is critical in the development of balanced dentofacial structures. Materials and methods: 60 pretreatment radiograph of skeletal class I and class III patients were selected for the measurement in symphysis region. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for statistical analysis. Results: A significant difference in symphysis height of class I and class III patients was found. Conclusion: Symphysis height was significantly greater in the Class III group.
Keywords: Class III, alveolar bone height, skeletal malocclusion.
