Comparative Evaluation of Facial Soft Tissue Characteristics Between Angle’s Class II Division 1 and Class II Division 2 Malocclusion by Using Photographic Measurements

Aim To evaluate facial soft tissue characteristics between Angle's class II division 1 and class II division 2 malocclusion by using photographic measurements. Objective To evaluate and compare facial soft tissue characteristics by between Angle's class II div 1 malocclusion and class II div 2 malocclusion by photographic measurements. Materials and Methods A total of 100 orthodontic patient's standard photographs with age ranging from 15 to 25 procured for all subjects in natural head position NHP with maximum intercuspation and lip rest. Among of which 50 are of subjects with class II div 1 malocclusion and 50 are of subjects with class II div 2 malocclusion. Facial landmarks were identified without using any landmark identification mark. It was done to reduce landmark identification bias and observe the inter and intra observer reliability. The soft tissue landmarks measured on photograph to assess and compare facial soft tissue parameters. Result It was observed that the F value and p value indicate the significance of the differences observed between the two divisions for each parameter. The Lower Lip Me parameter shows a significant difference between the divisions p = 0.05 . Also Length Vermilion, Ag Ag, and Pro Lip show significant differences between the divisions p = 0.05 . Conclusion The comparison of Angle's class II div 1 and class II div 2 malocclusion using photographic analysis could be utilized with precision for orthodontic diagnosis in case of unavailability of cephalometric equipment's.
