Introduction: The comparison between the morphology of cranial base and different jaw relationships helps to increase awareness about the way of maxillofacial development and its relationship with the types of skeletal malocclusion. This study aims to examine the relationship between the morphology of the cranial base and different maxillofacial relationships in the sagittal dimension.
Materials & Methods: For this study, 180 lateral cephalometric radiographs were selected from the records of patients aged 18-25 years. The patients were categorized into three equal groups based on skeletal relationship distributions. Linear and angular cephalometric variables were measured and recorded.
Results: There were significant differences between the study groups in certain linear and angular variables. In particular, differences were seen in the S-N (p = 0.049), Ar-ANS (p = 0.001) and Ar-Pog (p = 0.001) for linear variables, and in saddle angle (p = 0.006) and gonial angle (p = 0.001) for angular variables.
Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the morphology of the cranial base is different in the jaw relations in the sagittal dimension, and there is a possibility that the pattern of the morphology of the cranial base determines the type of jaw relations in the future.
