Objectives:The aims of this study were to assess the relation of sagittal and vertical facial dimensions in lateral cephalometric analysis and occurrence of hyperdivergency in various facial profiles.
Material and Methods:This study was conducted on 200 patients in the Department of Orthodontics Khyber College of Dentistry Sagittal analysis was done by measuring ANB angle, and vertical relation was determined by MMA angle and Lower Face height ratio.
Results:Ninety eight patients were skeletal class I (49%) followed by 92 patients (46%) in skeletal class II. Forty eight percent patients were normodivergent followed by 37% hyperdivergent facial profile. Fifty one patients (52.04%) of skeletal class I patients were normo divergent and 43 patients (46.73%) of skeletal class II patients were hyperdivergent.
Conclusion: Most of normodivergent patients were skeletal class I and hyperdivergent were class II.
