Abstract:
BACKGROUND
Recent studies show malocclusion rate among Mongolian population is increasing year by year.
Malocclusion has a strong relationship with dental caries and its complications. Cephalometric
measurement norms are one of the important tools that are used for diagnosis and treatment
of malocclusions. Nowadays there are no cephalometric linear measurement norms among
Mongolian population according to age and sex. Background of this study was to determine
cephalometric linear measurement norms among Mongolian children.
METHODS
Total 161 children of 6 years old were participated in this study and 79 (36 male and 43 female)
children with normal occlusion were selected to determine cephalometric linear measurement
norms. Winceph 11.0 program is was used for measurements.
RESULTS
From all participants’ children with normal occlusion occupied 49% (79 children). Result of
measurement results shows no significant statistical differences between males and females.
CONCLUSION
These cephalometric linear measurements norms will be standard norms for Mongolian children
and it is very important tool for orthodontic practice.
