Inclusion criteria for the study required that the case records include good-quality panoramic radiographs and lateral cephalometric radiographs with the first four cervical vertebrae clearly visible. The anomalies recorded for each case included sella bridge, atlanto-occipital ligament calcification or ponticulus posticus, and posterior arch atlas deficiency. A control group consisted of 70 consecutively treated subjects who had no other dental anomalies and whose maxillary canines had erupted normally. Fisher's exact test and Pearson's chi-square test were used to determine possible statistically significant differences in the incidence of skeletal anomalies and\/or normal variants between the group of patients with PDC and the control group.<\/jats:p>\n        <jats:p>\n          <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The prevalence of skull anomalies and normal variants seen in cephalometric radiographs was increased in patients with PDC.
