The influnce of cephalometric features to palatal height index and the width of lower incisors in population of middle and southern Croatia

According to head index cephalometric investigations confirmed that brachicephali prevailed in the Central Croatia sample, while mesocephali prevailed in the Southern Croatia sample. According to face index euriprosops prevailed in Central Croatia, and leptoprosops in Southern Croatia. The aim of this investigation was to determinate if there are differences in palatal height and the width of lower incisors according to face shape. The study sample comprised 60 subjects, of both sex from two different geographic regions of Croatia. Anatomic impressions of upper and lower dental arch were taken in alginate and plaster models were made for all subjects. Gnathometric variables of palatal height and the intermolar width were measured. The palatal hight indices were calculated according to given values. In the sample of Central Croatia palatal height was 1064.00+/-35.50 and of Southern Croatia 1240.78+/-41.36 mm (high palate) The sum of lower incisors in the sample of Southern Croatia confirmed wider incisors in comparison with the control group in Central Croatia.
