Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate facial depth of patients with Class II malocclusion combined mandibular deficiency and to evaluate the relationship between the facial depth distance and anterior facial height. For this purpose, the distance between the projections of condylion and Nasion points on Frankfort horizontal plane was defined as facial depth (Co -N ) and this variable was compared with anterior facial height to identify a facial proportion.
