title: [A comparison of the clinical and instrumental functional findings in subjects with Angle class II/2 versus a eugnathic group].
abstract: On the basis of a clinical and functional analysis, the diagnosis of a group of patients with Angle class II/2 malocclusion is compared with a control group with normal occlusion in a statistical study. The present study confirms the tendency revealed in the literature for patients with an Angle class II/2 malocclusion to more frequently show symptoms of a myoarthropathy. However, our results failed to confirm the assumption made in previous studies that class II/2 patients have a steep condylar axis. In particular in patients with relatively vertical upper incisors and a deep bite, a functional analysis should be done at the start of treatment. In the event of problems being found, the primary aim of therapy is the correction of the upper incisor angle.
