title: [Depth of the curve of Spee in relation to FMA, FH, ANB and dental class].
abstract: The Authors have statistically evaluated (by student's t test) a series of 151 patients to evaluate the relation between the depth of Spee's curve and some skeletal cephalometric (FMA, FH and ANB) and occlusal (dental Class) parameters. The test has showed that there are not significant variations of Spee's curve depth in relation with vertical skeletal parameters (FMA and FH); on the contrary, it has showed significant variations as regards horizontal (ANB) and occlusal (dental Class) parameters. Particularly, the average value of Spee's curve of skeletal and dental III Classes has turned out to be systematically lower than that of other Classes.
