title: [The cephalometric characteristics of the base of the skull in bite anomalies in the sagittal plane].
abstract: Cephalometric analysis of the structure of the skull base in 194 patients aged 7 to 25 with occlusion abnormalities in the sagittal plane showed decreased length of the posterior portion of the skull base and of the size of the basilar angle in progenic occlusion in comparison with that in prognathic occlusion, which is indicative of a reduced activity of the clinoid-occipital synchondrosis in this abnormality. A conclusion is made on a relationship between the formation of occlusion abnormalities and disorders of the growth of the skull base.
