Aim and Objectives: To evaluate and compare the relationship between mandibular effective length and mandibular crowding in patients with Class II malocclusions.
Methods: A total 40 patients of age between 15 to 30 years were selected for the study. Measurements were performed on pre-treatment dental casts and lateral cephalograms. The sample was divided into two equal groups. Group 1 consisted of patients with crowding > 3mm. Group 2 consisted of patients with crowding < 3 mm. The effective mandibular length was measured as Co-Gn in lateral cephalogram and dental crowding was counted from dental casts. Comparison of both these parameters was done for all the patients.
Results: Mean mandible length was 102.125
