Israeli cephalometric standards compared to Downs and Steiner analyses
A sample consisting of 40 young Israeli adolescents, 18 males and 22 females, was examined cephalometrically. The subjects were classified as Angle Class I, with less than three millimeters of crowding and an orthognathic profile. Steiner and Downs analyses were performed for all subjects. Each analysis was done both manually and by using a computer. The computerized results were processed and subjected to statistical tests. The Israeli sample is characterized by a convex profile, a retrusive mandible, a steep mandibular plane and protrusive incisors.Abstract
