Assessment of lower incisor position and symphysis dimensions among different skeletal patterns in the Chhattisgarh population.

Lower incisor position and mandibular symphysis morphology across different sagittal skeletal malocclusions, which complicates orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning is of interest. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate these parameters among skeletal Class I, Class II and Class III individuals. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 180 untreated subjects aged 16-45 years using standardized lateral cephalometric radiographs, with groups classified based on the ANB angle. Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test identified significant intergroup differences. Thus, proclined lower incisors in Class II subjects and retroclined incisors with increased symphyseal dimensions in Class III subjects, highlighting important dentoalveolar and skeletal variations.
