Dr Moiz Ahmed, Dr Hamza Ahmad, Dr Jamal Ahmed

Introduction: For proper diagnosis and treatment planning in orthodontics, thorough knowledge of both skeletal and dental components in all 3 dimensions: sagittal, vertical and transverse, is essential. Aims and objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyse the incisors inclination in hyperdivergent and hypodivergent patients. Material and methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in Demontmorency College of Dentistry, Lahore during December 2018 to July 2019. Sampling technique was non-probability, purposive. Sample was divided into 2 groups: hyperdivergent and hypodivergent patients. Facial divergence was determined by mandibular plane angle (SN-MP) used in Steiner’s analysis.20 Age range of the sample was 16 years to 31 years. Results: The distribution of the patients into groups is provided. The normodivergent group consisted of 46 subjects (24 females, 22 males) with a mean age of 30.2 ± 6.3 years; the hypodivergent group consisted of 49 subjects (26 females, 23 males) with a mean age of 30.3 ± 7.6 years; and the hyperdivergent group consisted of 40 subjects (24 females, 16 males) with a mean age of 29.5 ± 5.3 years. Conclusion: It is concluded that there was no statistically significant difference in the molar inclinations of hyperdivergent, normodivergent, and hypodivergent adult subjects with Class I sagittal relationships.
