Abstract

This investigation was carried out in order to find out changes in head postures and in craniofacial morphology, in relation to the inclination of cervical column. For this study 85 subjects, consisting 39 males and 49 females, between the ages of 7 to 24 years old were chosen, and following results were observed after analysing the correlation coefficients between each structures. 1. No definite relationships were observed between the inclination of cervical column (CVT/HOR) and the inclination of anterior cranial base (SN/VER) 2. No definite relationships were observed between the inclination of mandibular ramus (RL/HOR) and the inclination of mandibular inclination (MLP/VER). 3. In subjects with anteriorly inclined cervical column, increase in mandibular plane inclinations (ML/VER) were observed. 4. No definite relationships were observed between the inclination of cervical column (CVT/HOR) and changes in palatal plane (NL/VER).
