Description
The genetic impact directly or indirectly predefines maxillofacial dimensions, potentially leading to an inappropriate relationship of the jaws and subsequently skeletal malocclusion. The effect of genetic factors have been reported to be associated with mandibular and maxillary prominence or deficiency, naso-labial angle, nasal shape, anterior face height, width of the face and in craniofacial phenotypes. An understanding of the genetic factors underlying malocclusion will improve an orthodontist’s diagnostic and treatments modalities. Therefore this study set out to investigate any association between skeletal Class II Div.1 malocclusion and genes polymorphism and study the association of gene polymorphisms with the maxillary and mandibular bone dimentions.
