Abstract
Numerous cephalometric studies have been conducted to assess the features of class II division 2 malocclusions since the release of Angle's description of malocclusion types; nonetheless, disagreements persist. Therefore, it is of interest to examine the cephalometric features of Class II/2 malocclusions in patients aged 8 to 24 at Burdwan Dental College and Hospital, given that a significant proportion of patients, including adults seeking orthodontic treatment, have this malocclusion. Each lateral cephalogram was traced both digitally and manually using the Nemo Ceph Software System. Thirty-six dental and skeletal parameters were measured; thirty class II Division 2 participants (15 girls and 15 boys) and thirty subjects with normal occlusion were chosen and clinically assessed.
