Özet
Statement of the problem: In patients with mandibular prognathism and skeletal Class III malocclusion, there is a lack of data regarding the relati-onship between average facial depth and anterior facial height. Objective: This study aims to determine the average facial depth in pa-tients with mandibular-origin skeletal Class III malocclusion and to investigate the relationship between this measurement and anterior facial height. Materials and Methods: A total of 626 individuals with Class III malocc-lusion were included in the study (292 females, 335 males). On cephalometric radiographs of the participants, the pogonion (Po), nasion (N), Frankfort Hori-zontal plane (FH), condylion (Co), and menton (Me) points were marked. The anterior facial height of the patients was calculated, and all participants were divided into three groups: long, average, and short. The distance where Co and N intersected the FH was defined as the 'facial depth distance' (Co-N). Finally, the ratio of the facial depth distance (Co-N) to the anterior facial height (N-Me) was calculated. Results: A significant difference was observed in the mean ratio of Co'-N' to N-Me between long-faced individuals and short-faced individuals (P < 0.05). The ratio of the facial depth distance (Co'-N') to the anterior facial height (N-Me) was found to be 69% ± 5. This ratio was determined to be 68% ± 4 in long-faced individuals, 69% ± 4 in average-faced individuals, and 72% ± 5 in short-faced individuals. Conclusions: The ratio between Co-N and N-Me may provide a new perspective in the evaluation of mandibular-origin Class III malocclusions.
