This study was attempted to individulize upper adn lower incisor position appropriate to individual characteristic dento-facial pattern.
Lateral cephalometric randiographs of 75 Korean adults with normal occlusion and good facial profile whose ages were over 17 years were traced, digitized, and statistically analyzed.
The results of this study were as follows;
1. All cephalometric measurements of inciso , position and dento-faial pattern for normal occlusion showed wide range of variation.
2. There were no significant differences of incisor position between males and females.
3. Lower incisor position was highly correlated with ANB, N-A-Pog and SN/Mand .pl. angle and upper incisor position , with ANB, N-A-Pog and SN/Occ. pl. angle.
4. Mutiple regression equations were established to individualize incisor position appropriate to individual charateristic dento-facial pattern. ANB and N-A-Pog angle were selected as the significant guiding variables affecting upper and lower incisor position.
5. Lower incisor position such as ?? to SN, ?? to NA, ?? to NA (mm) and ?? to NPog(mm) could be highly predicted from the variables of dento-facial pattern.
