Impacted mandibular third molar area has been a topic of interest for a long time, and one of the most investigated parameters for two reasons:1- the lower third molars are the second most frequently impacted teeth[1,2 ]. 2- the lack of space is cons
idered to be the major cause of this.so the radiographic diagnosis for this area is an important issue for orthodontists because of it's important role in mandibular third molar eruption wich play an impact on lower arch crowding and stability of orthodontic treatment. Objective:to study the relationship between impacted mandibular third molar area morphology and mandibular length in adults with skeletal malocclusion in the sagittal plane and to investigate the effect of sex on this area in these subjects by using cephalometric radiographic.
The Objective is to study the relation between craniocervical
posture and skeletal patterns of malocclusion in the sagittal plane in
adults , None of them had a history of previous orthodontic or
orthognathic surgery treatment by using lateral cep
halometric
radiographs. our sample consisted of 71 adults patients; class I
(n=21) , class II (n= 30 ) , class III (n=20 ) .All radiographes were
taken in natural head position.
