Lateral cephalograms of 120 subjects of both sexes in the age group of 17-28 years with normal occlusion belonging to Chennai, India<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n Linear dimensions of anterior and posterior segments of the craniofacial complex were measured sagittally with the posterior maxillary plane as a key reference plane. Ratios were established between the various parameters in the anterior and posterior region.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A ratio of 1:1 was found to exist between the individual and aggregate sagittal segments of the craniofacial complex in both sexes. There was a statistically significant sexual dimorphism in the aggregate lengths(\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.028,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.005). However, the ratio between the anterior cranial floor and effective maxillary length was 2:3 and 5:8 and that between anterior cranial floor to effective mandibular length was 5:8 and 3:5 in females and males respectively. The difference in the above values was not statistically significant.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n A dimensional balance was found to exist between the maxilla and mandible both at the dentoalveolar and skeletal level with a ratio of 1:1. There was also a dimensional balance between the posterior cranial floor and ramus width. However, there was no architectural balance between the anterior cranial floor and maxilla and mandible.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-9290.102210","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,10,10]],"date-time":"2012-10-10T19:42:42Z","timestamp":1349898162000},"page":"305-312","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Determination of craniofacial relation among the subethnic Indian population: A modified approach - (Sagittal relation)"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"A","family":"Sumathi Felicita","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Saveetha Dental College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shyamala","family":"Chandrasekar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Saveetha Dental College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K K","family":"Shanthasundari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, Saveetha Dental College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-20260302","first-page":"729","article-title":"Cephalometrics for you and me","volume":"39","author":"Steiner","year":"1953","journal-title":"Am J Ortod"},{"key":"R2-20260302","first-page":"812","article-title":"Variation in facial relationship: Their significance in treatment and prognosis","volume":"34","author":"Downs","year":"1948","journal-title":"Am J Orthod"},{"key":"R4-20260302","first-page":"269","article-title":"Cephalometrics for orthognathic surgery","volume":"36","author":"Burstone","year":"1978","journal-title":"J Oral Surg"},{"key":"R5-20260302","first-page":"1","volume":"84","author":"Holdaway","year":"1983","journal-title":"A soft tissue cephalometric analysis and its use in orthodontic treatment planning: Part I: Am J Orthod"},{"key":"R6-20260302","first-page":"449","article-title":"A method of cephalometric evaluation","volume":"86","author":"McNamara","year":"1984","journal-title":"Am J Orthod"},{"key":"R7-20260302","first-page":"24","article-title":"Appraisal of present concepts in orthodontia","volume":"20","author":"Brodie Allan","year":"1950","journal-title":"Angle Orthod"},{"key":"R8-20260302","first-page":"735","article-title":"A roentgenocephalometric analysis of cephalofacialdental relationships","volume":"41","author":"Sassouni","year":"1955","journal-title":"Am J Orthod"},{"key":"R9-20260302","first-page":"501","article-title":"Bimler Therapy, Part I: Bimler cephalometric analysis","volume":"19","author":"Bimler","year":"1985","journal-title":"J Clin Orthod"},{"key":"R10-20260302","first-page":"241","article-title":"A roentgenoscopic method of analyzing the facial correlations","author":"Bimler","year":"1957","journal-title":"Trans Eur Orthod Soc"},{"key":"R12-20260302","first-page":"6","article-title":"A procedure for the analysis of intrinsic form and growth: An equivalent-balance concept","volume":"56","author":"Enlow","year":"1969","journal-title":"Am J Orthod"},{"key":"R13-20260302","first-page":"33","article-title":"What is the prevalence of malocclusion in India?
