Abstract :
Objective To describe and analyze the skeletal and dental characteristics associated with Class II division 1 (Class II/1) and Class II division 2 (Class II/2) malocclusions in the anteroposterior and vertical dimensions in Maharashtrian population. Materials and Methods 200 lateral cephalograms were evaluated, out of which 100 films were of div 1and 100 films were of div 2 malocclusions, further subdivided based on gender. Lateral cephalograms were traced and different parameters were compared with each other. Results average mean ages of both groups was 23 – 26 years When comparison was done between difference in means of two groups (Table 3), there was no significant difference between mean values of parameters SNB, SNPOG, FACIAL ANGLE, Y-AXIS, LAFH, PAFH, FM ANGLE, GONIAL ANGLE, SN-MD ANGLE, MM ANGLE, and SADDLE ANGLE, (i.e. p>0.05) and highly significant difference between mean values of parameters SNA, ANB, FACIAL CONVEXITY,LI-MAND,UI-SN, and INTERINCISAL(i.e. p
