malocclusion, prognathism, craniofacialAbstract
Cephalometric analysis is central to the diagnosis, treatment planning and successful management of dental malocclusion
and skeletal discrepancies. While interpopulation variations in skeletal morphology have been documented, limited research is available in the South African context. This study contributes to developing literature describing cephalometrics in a South African Black population.
