Relationship between cephalometric cranial base and anterior ‑posterior features in an Iranian population

Conclusion: Smaller cranial base angle in the skeletal Class III malocclusion compared to skeletalClass II malocclusion has been demonstrated in this study. A significant correlation between thecranial base angle, the cranial base dimension, and the effective length of the maxilla was observed,and the smaller cranial base angle in Class III malocclusion was also confirmed. These findingsindicate that the cranial base can affect the development of maxilla and mid ‑face.
